Creamy Corn & Spinach Sandwich

Ingredients

  • Spinach, 200g (leaves only, stems removed)
  • Sweet corn, ¼ cup (boiled for 3–4 mins)
  • Butter, for cooking & grilling
  • Salt, to taste
  • Chili flakes, to taste
  • Italian seasoning, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Milk, ⅓ cup
  • Cheese, 2 slices
  • Bread, as needed

Steps

  1. Melt butter in a pan. Add corn and toss in chili flakes, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
  2. Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until all the moisture evaporates. Add salt, mix, cook for a while, pour in milk and add cheese slices. Simmer until the mixture blends into a smooth, slightly loose sauce (it thickens as it cools).
  3. Spread the creamy filling onto bread slices, apply butter on the outside, and grill until golden and crisp.

Tips

  • Taste for salt before it leaves the pan. The pinch is easy to miss.
  • Keep ginger and garlic moving in the oil so they toast instead of burn.
  • Warm the bowl. A hot dish on a cold plate goes quiet in a minute.
