Spinach Corn Sandwich Recipe

This Sandwich recipe that I am going to share was inspired by the Spinach Corn Sandwich recipe Cafe Coffee Day version. When I first tasted this sandwich in one of the Cafe Coffee Day in Bangalore, India. I wanted to try this cheesy spinach corn sandwich recipe at home and found the recipe on the internet and was able to personalize it according to my taste and preferences. It’s a wholesome snack with loads of spinach, sweet corn kernels, cheese, and brown bread. The spinach corn sandwich is one of my favorite lunch box recipes at our home and is also convenient for me to make in less time. I usually make the spinach corn sandwich mixture the previous night.

Sweet Corn: use fresh or frozen boiled sweet corn. Garlic: freshly minced garlic gives the best flavor. All-purpose flour: is used to thicken the white sauce. You can also use wheat flour or cornstarch. Milk: Use chilled milk to avoid lumps in the sauce. You may also use almond milk or coconut milk if vegan. Cheese: I like to use shredded mozzarella (or Amul processed cheese). You may also use Cheddar cheese, Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, or Gouda. Seasonings: Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, freshly ground black pepper & salt. Butter: is used for toasting the sandwich. If you are vegan, replace it with vegan butter or olive oil.
