Spinach Corn Cheese Sandwich Recipe

      Sandwiches are an easy grab-and-go wholesome breakfast with lots of variations that can be imparted in the stuffing, which make it more interesting and unique. Have been making this spinach corn cheese sandwich for a while after coming to USA. As spinach is the only tasteworthy green that is available here, it becomes inevitable to explore alternatives to include spinach in an interesting form in dishes. So, here comes an easy cheesy sandwich with the goodness of spinach :)

Prep Time: 10 mins || Cook Time: 15 mins || Yields:  4 Sandwiches (4 Triangles) || Category: Sandwich / Kids Recipe / Breakfast


Ingredients:

1. Spinach - 1 bunch
2. Olive oil - 2 tbsp
3. Oregano - 2 tsp
4. Golden corn - 4 tbsp
5. Salt - as required
6. Pepper - 1 tsp
7. Chili powder - 2 tsp (optional)
8. Mozarella cheese - 4 tbsp (grated)
9. Ghee - to smear over the sandwich

Method:

1. Heat a pan and add olive oil. Add the oregano followed by cleaned, washed and chopped spinach giving a quick stir. Saute for 2 mins.
2. Add the golden corn, salt, pepper and chili powder and give a stir. Saute for few mins until the water from spinach and corn evaporates. Once done, switch off the flame and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
3. Spread a layer of grated mozarella cheese on both the bread slices and spread the spinach mixture on one slice. If desired, sprinkle some more cheese in the middle and close the two slices. Smear the top and bottom sides of the sandwich with ghee and toast it. 
4. Cut the sandwich into desired size and serve warm with tomato ketchup or any dip.

Suggestions:


  • I used frozen corn, as fresh corn is not available. 
  • Oregano can be skipped or replaced with any other dried herb.
  • The outer edges of the bread can be trimmed and toasted in a sandwich maker or in a normal tawa on stove top.
