Spinach Corn Sandwich – Video recipe
Spinach Corn Sandwich is a great breakfast and also perfect to pack in kids’ lunch boxes. I have been making this sandwich for a couple of years now and we love it a lot. With little alteration to the recipe, you can make the healthier version as well.
Summer vacation is over and kids are back to school. The biggest dilemma we moms face is ‘What to pack for a Lunch box ?’, of course without compromising the health aspect. And if you have a fussy kid then the challenge just doubles up. You have to be innovative in making food interesting for kids.
This Spinach Corn Sandwich is a good way to make your kids eat their share of greens. The cheesy sauce is delicious enough to tempt them. You can add other cooked vegetables like carrot, peas, beans. Boiled chicken chunks can also be added to the stuffing.
Want to make it healthy?? No issues. Substitute flour with whole wheat flour, use a mix of oil and butter and reduce the amount of cheese to half. Yet, I can bet you the stuffing will be equally yum.
Other Spinach Recipes
There are so many ways you can use spinach. I have used it soups – Red Lentil Soup With Spinach & Healthy Spinach Soup, used it as a stuffing in chicken – Mushroom Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast, in pasta like Creamy Spinach Pasta. a delicious appetizer – Creamy spinach stuffed portobello mushrooms.
