Spinach Corn Sandwich recipe with step-by-step pictures and a recipe video. Bread was always something that I loathed in my childhood and was never much of a bread-jam or bread-butter combination fan. It really took a lot of time, effort and experiments, for me to start liking it. Thanks to my elder sister! Had it not been for her, I would never have allowed bread into my house. 😀 The cheese sandwich that she secretly made in the absence of elders is something that I still recall and perhaps snacks made stealthily seem to taste much better than regular ones. Childhood days were simply awesome, with us experimenting with food and enjoying it together.
The Spinach Corn Sandwich recipe that I am going to share today is one of her specialities I admit, but as always, I have personalised it according to my taste and preferences. Similar to the Spinach Corn Sandwich recipe Cafe Coffee Day version, it has an amazing filling, the spice levels of which have been augmented using red chilli flakes, some Italian seasoning and a tinge of black pepper.
To be honest, I feel what makes the recipe a hit among all is its health quotient. It’s a wholesome snack with loads of spinach, sweet corn kernels and brown bread. Of course, veggies are not much appreciated by kids, especially my younger one. I have tried making him watch how Popeye munches on spinach and gains strength but even this trick of mine failed to impress him. So in a final attempt, I tried grating cheese into it, not just into the filling but also over the spinach corn mixture to make it a kid-friendly dish. And this was how I nailed it! 😀
The spinach sandwich Indian version is now their favourite lunch box recipe and even convenient for me to prepare when I am pressed for time.
However, if you are a health freak like my husband, concerned about the Spinach Corn Sandwich calories, I would suggest avoiding the second helping of cheese just before covering the thick blend with another brown bread slice. Moreover, a generous amount of it won’t harm you if you consume it occasionally. 😛
With this vegetarian snack, the power is in your hands now! You can either have it as a regular sweet corn sandwich breakfast recipe or as a special brunch item on Sundays with hot and steamy soup without wasting your precious time searching ‘How to make a cheesy Spinach Corn Sandwich’ on the web.
