🧾 Ingredient Notes

Spinach corn sandwich ingredients in bowls and spoons with labels.

Butter: I personally like to use unsalted butter so I can control my salt intake.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic is recommended. But you can use store-bought minced garlic from the jar.
Sweet Corn Kernels: I have used frozen corn here. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn kernels. If using canned corn, make sure to drain and rinse them before adding to the recipe. Also, no need to cook the canned corn for longer.
All purpose Flour: Helps to thicken the filling.
Spinach: Fresh spinach works best in this recipe, but you can also use frozen spinach that has been thawed and excess water squeezed out.
Milk: Full-fat whole milk is recommended for a creamier texture, but you can use any type of milk you prefer.
Red Chili Flakes: Optional for added heat.
Italian Seasoning: A blend of dried herbs such as oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary, which adds depth of flavor. Alternatively, you can use dried oregano.
Mozzarella Cheese: Use shredded mozzarella for its meltability and creamy texture. Alternatively, you can use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or any other cheese of your choice.
Sandwich Bread: Use your favorite type of sandwich bread, such as white, whole wheat, or multigrain.

💭 Expert Tips

Grilled to Perfection: Ensure the grill pan or skillet is preheated properly before grilling the sandwiches. This helps achieve a crispy exterior while ensuring the filling is heated through.
- Alternatively, you can toast the sandwiches in a pan or sandwich maker.
Butter for Crispiness: Generously spread butter on the outer surfaces of the bread before grilling. This helps create a golden-brown crust and adds a delicious buttery flavor to the sandwich.
Don’t overstuff the sandwich with fillings, less is more – Too much filling can make it bulkier and harder to eat.

🍽 Serving Ideas

Breakfast: Serve spinach corn sandwich as breakfast with a dipping of Maggi’s sweet chili sauce. Pair it with a cup of hot coffee or tea to kick-start your day.
Lunch or Dinner: Accompany the sandwich with a side of soup (e.g. roasted tomato soup, Indian tomato soup, roasted red pepper soup) or salad to make a filling satisfying meal.
Lunchbox: Because of its mild flavor, this can be packed into a kid’s lunchbox.
