Reasons To LOVE Spinach Corn Sandwich

As a family, Spinach Corn Sandwich is one of our favorite breakfast or brunch recipe.

There is something comforting about the creamy sandwich filling stuffed between the grilled bread slices.

The gooey goodness of the homemade white sauce, the sweetness of corn, and the goodness of spinach complement each other perfectly.

The Creamy White Sauce

This is my multi-purpose whole wheat white sauce for everything. From white sauce pasta, creamy mushrooms, sandwich fillings to vegetable bake, I use it for all.

The USP of this white sauce is it does not have any cream, mayonnaise, eggs, or all-purpose flour.

The base of this creamy white sauce is 4 ingredients – wheat flour, milk, garlic, and olive oil.

BONUS: You can make this sauce while meal-prepping for the week and store it in the refrigerator. It remains good to use for 3 – 4 days.

Step-By-Step Method

Making a spinach corn sandwich is a two-step process.

1) Prepare Filling

2) Assemble & Grill Sandwich

Start with making the white sauce for the sandwich filling.

Heat olive oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic, onion, and saute for 10 – 20 seconds to release the aroma of garlic (image 1).

Next, add wheat flour. Saute over low heat for 1 – 2 minutes to release the aroma and roast the flour (image 3 & 4).

Pour the milk steadily with one hand and stir the flour mixture clockwise continuously to avoid any lump formation. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens (image 4).

Once the sauce thickens, bubbling season with salt, and pepper powder. Stir to combine.

Add chopped spinach, corn, grated cheese in the white sauce. Stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, you can add more milk to get the desired consistency.

Simmer the vegetables in the white sauce for 1 – 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Spinach Corn Sandwich filling is ready!
