SPINACH AND CORN CHEESE SANDWICH

This is one of my absolute favourite sandwiches. Absolutely healthy and filling. This recipe is so easy that I have never posted it. I actually don't have any sandwich recipes on my blog! 

But we are amidst a time where nutritious and quick recipes such as these will come in very handy. Schools are still not open and we are still doing online schooling. So amidst all the chaos of juggling many roles we have to work smart and have such nutritious and quick recipes up our sleeve. 

This filling can even be made a day in advance. My kids do throw a tantrum when they see that spinach............ but then we can always bribe them with those french fries!!  It's all about the negotiation yáll !!:D

Corn and spinach are two ingredients that go hand in hand. With the addition of milk it gives you a very creamy appearance. So let me know if this is a keeper recipe?!:)

This recipe makes about 3 closed sandwiches.
