CORN-SPINACH SANDWICHE

Few days before I have seen so many posts of sandwiches from my friends on food groups on FB. So wanted to try sandwiches for breakfast and made this delicious and cheesy sandwiches with corn and spinach as I had all the ingredients there in my refrigerator. I have heard that this is a winning combo of course, but never tried before. Today I am going to share the recipe of Corn-Spinach grilled sandwiches which are easy to make and very good option for morning breakfast. The corn-palak can be had plain or can also be stuffed in sandwiches or wraps. Very easy and simple to make and filled with the goodness of corn and spinach and taste is just awesome. The procedure of making corn and spinach mixture is really easy and it is made in one step. Here I added cheese slice as don’t have cheese cubes with me.  You can try them for childrens birthday parties or kitty parties or for evening snack too. Perfect snack for kids for short break in school. This is quick and interesting enough too. At my place, any kind of sandwiches are our favourite. We usually have them as a light meal and sometimes enjoy them with a bowl of hot soup. I made it with white bread but you can use other bread too for this recipe. So give a try for this sandwiches on the weekends and enjoy.

INGREDIENTS:

 FOR Filling:

1 tablespoon Butter

2-3 Garlic Cloves crushed roughly

½ Inch Garlic crushed roughly

1 Cup Spinach, rinsed well and chopped

1 Cup Sweet Corn Kernels

2 tablespoon All Purpose Flour

½ Cup Chilled Milk

2-3 tablespoon Cheese

Salt to taste

½ teaspoon Curshed Black Pepper

½ teaspoon Chilli flakes

FOR Sandwiches:

6 Bread Slices

Butter for grilling

METHOD:

STEP 1 – Boil the corn kernels in water with little salt and turmeric powder. Once cool to touch, separate the kernels. [you can use frozen corn kernels]

STEP 2 – Also chop spinach and crush the garlic and ginger together.

STEP 3 – Heat the butter in a non-stick pan on medium heat.

STEP 4 – Once it is melted add crushed ginger and garlic in it and saute for a minute or till the raw smell goes away.

STEP 5 – Then add milk to it with all purpose flour, mix it well so that no lumps form. Always use the milk directly from the refrigerator so you won’t get any lumps of flour.

STEP 6 – Continuously stir it and when it comes to boil then add pepper powder, chilli flakes and salt in it and mix it.

STEP 7 – Simmer the heat and add chopped spinach to the pan and mix well.

STEP 8 – Add boiled corn kernels in it and mix well and sate for 2-3 minutes.

STEP 9 – Finally add cheese to it and mix it. The mixture should be really thick likepaste. If it is runny then sandwich will get soggy, soft quickly.

STEP 10 – Stir it well and turn off the stove.

STEP 11 – Remove the mixture to a bowl, so that it gets cool faster.

FOR Assembling Sandwiches:

STEP 1 – Take bread slices and spread butter on one side of each bread.

STEP 2 – Now spread the creamy corn-spinach mixture over one slice of bread.

STEP 3 – Cover it with another slice of bread. Repeat the same with the rest of bread slices.

STEP 4 – Now heat a grill pan on medium heat. Grill the sandwiches on it with little butter.

STEP 5 – When get crispy from one side, apply butter on other side and flip them and grill from another side. This butter will help to crisp up the bread.

STEP 6 – Press them lightly with spatula [don’t give too much pressure]

STEP 7 – When done, remove it to plate and slice it using sharp knife and serve hot sandwiches to your loved ones.
