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.
How To Make Corn Sandwich
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!
