Spinach Corn Sandwich is a toasted/grilled sandwich recipe prepared with a creamy and cheesy filling made of spinach, sweet corn, flour, milk, and cheese. It is also flavored with garlic, pepper, Italian herbs, and red chili flakes. It is very easy to prepare and tastes better when served hot with tea or soup.

This Sandwich recipe that I am going to share was inspired by the Spinach Corn Sandwich recipe Cafe Coffee Day version.

When I first tasted this sandwich in one of the Cafe Coffee Day in Bangalore, India. I wanted to try this cheesy spinach corn sandwich recipe at home and found the recipe on the internet and was able to personalize it according to my taste and preferences.

It’s a wholesome snack with loads of spinach, sweet corn kernels, cheese, and brown bread.

The spinach corn sandwich is one of my favorite lunch box recipes at our home and is also convenient for me to make in less time. I usually make the spinach corn sandwich mixture the previous night.

Spinach Corn Cheese Sandwich Ingredients

  • Bread slices: Feel free to use any kind of bread like white milk bread, brown bread, multigrain bread, or sourdough bread.
  • Spinach: I used fresh baby spinach. You can also use frozen spinach.
  • Sweet Corn: use fresh or frozen boiled sweet corn.
  • Garlic: freshly minced garlic gives the best flavor.
  • All-purpose flour: is used to thicken the white sauce. You can also use wheat flour or corn starch.
  • Milk: Use chilled milk to avoid lumps in the sauce. You may also use almond milk or coconut milk if vegan.
  • Cheese: I like to use shredded mozzarella (or Amul processed cheese). You may also use Cheddar cheese, Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, or Gouda.
  • Seasonings: italian seasoning, red chili flakes, freshly ground black pepper & salt.
  • Butter: is used for toasting the sandwich. If you are vegan, replace it with vegan butter or olive oil.

    Notes

    Tips & Variations

      • Use brown or multigrain bread for healthier choices.
      • You can also replace maida (all-purpose flour) with wheat flour or cornflour.
      • Toast the bread on tawa or use a sandwich maker or grill to golden and crisp.
      • Always add chilled/cold milk so you won’t get any lumps of the flour.
      • I have used only mozzarella cheese for this recipe but the combination of mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese can be used. If you do not have mozzarella cheese use processed cheese or grated paneer.
      • You can also add onions while sauteing but this is completely optional.
      • If you are vegan skip mozzarella or use vegan cheese. Replace butter with oil.
      • Add more or less spinach or cheese according to your preference for this palak corn sandwich.

      Hi, I tried a different variation (before I came across your channel and blog) where we make a white sauce and add corn and 'blanched- chopped' spinach, stir it, add cheese and put off the flame.

      The spinach in the sandwich tasted very raw. I didn't like the flavour.
      Where did I go wrong?

        Hi Amru, I send a lot of sandwiches to my daughter's lunchbox. Let the toasted/grilled sandwich come to room temperature, and then pack the sandwich. I sometimes keep sandwiches above the parchment paper. Hope this helps.
