Corn & Spinach Cheese Sandwich

This is one of the quickest and healthiest recipes that I love to make. It is full of nutrition without compromising on the taste.  I always make this for breakfast when my husband is running late for his office and does not have the time to sit and have a hearty breakfast. I just pack this in a Ziploc and his take away breakfast is ready.  The crispiness of this sandwich makes it a good snack to go along with your evening cup of tea or coffee as well.

To make this easy Crispy Spinach Corn Sandwich you will need :-

Ingredients:

Spinach (blanched and chopped) – 1 Cup

Fresh baby spinach leaves – 2 to 3 leaves per sandwich

American Corn (Boiled) – 1 Cup

Grated Cheese – 1 cup

Finely Chopped Garlic - 2-3 Flakes

Chopped Parsley – 2 tbsp (optional)

Salt according to taste

Crushed Black Pepper – ½ tsp

Bread Slices – 10 to 12 slices

Oregano–½ tsp (optional)                    

Fried onion slices - 1/3 cup (optional)

Olive oil – 2 tsp

Procedure:-

1. In a pan, heat olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and sauté it till the raw smell is gone. 

2. Now add the blanched and chopped Spinach. You can also use thawed frozen spinach.  Sauté the spinach for about 3-4 minutes.

3. At this stage add the boiled corn. You can also use frozen corn in this recipe. 

4. Add the crushed black pepper, oregano, parsley and salt and cook for 2 more minutes.

5. Now the next step is to assemble the sandwich. You can get as creative as you want here. I normally take one slice of bread spread the spinach corn mixture on top of it.

6. Place 2-3 fresh spinach leaves on top , then  sprinkle some grated cheese and fried onion slices. The fresh spinach leaves and fried onion provide crunchiness to the sandwich. 

7. Now cover it with another bread slice and grill it in the sandwich maker till the bread turns golden brown and crisp. You can also make this sandwich on the skillet if you do not have the grill or sandwich maker. 

This recipe is very nutritious and healthy. You can make it without the cheese for a healthier version. Also you can use avocado or tomato slices in sandwich. Tomatoes provide the citric acid which helps in absorbing the iron from spinach. 

Serve these sandwiches with a glass of orange juice.

Stay flavorful !
