Grilled Spinach And Corn Sandwich

We all prefer eating something warm and cheesy on chilled winter evenings. Friends, winter has set in Sydney. It’s cold and chilly here!!

My friend and her husband (originally from Coorg, India) came over to our house with their son for a cup of tea. Her son and Aarav are schoolmates and so they wanted to play together. We thought the kids will have a good time playing and we will chat with a hot cup of tea. I thought of making grilled spinach and corn sandwich for the chilly evening.

Spinach goes well with corn. The taste is enhanced with the addition of garlic and onions and it becomes rich by creamy and cheesy white sauce.

The filling is very easy and quick to make. All you need to do is to saute garlic, onion, corn, and spinach and then add flour and milk to it to make the white sauce. In the end, add the cheese to the thickened mixture. I have added less cheese. To make it more cheesy add 1/2 cup of cheese. Add salt accordingly as the cheese already has salt. I have used more spinach as I wanted my filling to be packed up with it. You can instead use half the quantity of spinach. Since I avoid the white bread, I have used wholemeal bread. My son does not like corn and so I had added small paneer pieces for him and his friend. I had served kids sandwiches with hot mix tomato and veggie soup. I will share the recipe for the soup soon.

The sandwiches came out nice and crispy and we enjoyed them with a hot cup of tea and lots of chit-chats. A very good and warm evening spent together!!

Enjoy making this sandwich for your breakfast, snack, afternoon tea or a one-meal dish.

Notes

I have used more spinach. You can use half the quantity of spinach.
I have used less cheese. To make it more cheesy you can use 1/2 cup of cheese. I have used a combination of mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. You can use the entire mozzarella cheese. If you do not have mozzarella cheese use processed cheese.
The chili flakes can be adjusted as per the spice level required.
I have used wholemeal bread. You can use white bread.
