Cheesy corn and spinach grilled sandwich


When I started my first job after graduation,  me and my friends used to hang out in coffee shops often. The ones like Cafe coffee day and Barista. We used to have coffee, smoothies and tasty sandwiches. I always ordered the corn and spinach sandwich which had a cheesy and creamy stuffing!

Some time back I realised how much I miss those days and thought I could bring back at least some of those memories by trying out my favourite sandwich :)




So here it is:

What do I need??

1 small onion, finely chopped,
1 bowl of spinach, washed and finely chopped
1/2 bowl of frozen corn kernels
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon Butter
1 tablespoon all purpose flour (maida)
1 tablespoon grated cheese
1/2 cup warm milk
4 slices of bread
Mixed Italian herbs seasoning
Chilli flakes
Salt to taste

What are the steps??

1. Heat butter in a pan. Add the garlic and onion and saute till the onion is soft.
2. Add the spinach and corn and add some salt to season the vegetables.
3. Once the spinach is reduced and about cooked, add the flour and mix well together.
4. Now, add the milk and beat everything together nicely so that it gets a creamy texture, like white sauce.
5. Add cheese, chilli flakes and herbs for seasoning and turn off the heat.
6. Spread the mixture between two slices of bread. Spread a little butter on the outside of the sandwich and grill in a toaster/grill or on a pan.

Enjoy the cheesy corn and spinach sandwiches with ketchup !!

Any Tips??

* Chilli flakes can be replaced with black pepper if unavailable.
* The dish can be made healthier by using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
