Biting into warm melted cheese is like a dream come true. Sandwich with spinach, sweet corn mixed with white sauce and topped with cheese is one of the best sandwiches ever. I had eaten corn spinach cheese sandwich a few years back on a flight and instantly had fallen in love with this green-yellow cheesy goodness. Since then I have made this sandwich many times.
Sometimes I use frozen spinach and corn and sometimes fresh or a combination of both. There is no difference in taste and tastes heavenly each time.
Simple seasoning like black pepper and nutmeg add those distinct hint of flavours. Nutmeg is my favourite spice to use with spinach, they both go really well.
This sandwich is again an easy way to make kids to eat some greens. It tastes best served warm so how about making this easy snack for an after school evening. It is a sure hit among kids and very popular among adults too! Hail Popeye the sailor man! 🙂
