Spinach Corn Sandwich Recipe
Sandwich filling - The filling is a simple combo of spinach and corn. To make these veggies more appealing and tastier, we are going to cook them in a creamy mixture. Once you sauté corn and spinach in a little butter, you will need to add milk and cornflour (cornstarch) slurry. The latter is a mixture of cornflour and water. This combo of milk and slurry is the ‘creamy’ component of the filling. You can also replace it with fresh cream. But, this is a convenient idea if you don’t any fresh cream. Now, let this mixture cook. As it cooks, it will also thicken making a creamy coating for the veggies.
To enhance the flavors further, I have also seasoned it with oregano and dried red chili flakes. Lastly, add some grated mozzarella for that extra cheesy taste.
Make sandwiches - First, choose your favorite bread. I opted for sourdough. Next, spread with butter. Top one slice of bread with the filling and then add another slice on top. With grilling, you have two options - stovetop or grill. Toast the sandwich and enjoy!
