Instructions

Prepare the Filling:
- Heat the herb butter in a wide pan over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely.
- Once the butter is melted and hot, add the finely chopped garlic to the pan. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, or until it releases its fragrant aroma.
- Add the chopped spinach to the pan and sauté it for 3-4 minutes, until it wilts and reduces in volume.
- After the spinach has wilted, add the steamed corn, cubed paneer, and grated cheese. Continue stirring the mixture, making sure all the ingredients are well combined and the cheese starts to melt.
- Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, allowing any excess moisture from the spinach to evaporate.
- Once the moisture is gone, add the Nutralite Cheesy Garlic Mayo and stir well to combine. Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper as needed.

Assemble the Sandwich:
- Take 4 slices of whole wheat brown bread and lay them flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous amount of the spinach, corn, paneer, and cheese filling onto two of the bread slices.
- Place the remaining bread slices on top of the filled ones to form two sandwiches.
-
Grill the Sandwiches:
- Spread a thin layer of herb butter on both sides of the sandwiches to ensure they become golden and crisp when grilled.
- Preheat a pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches on the pan and grill them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve:
- Once the sandwiches are grilled to perfection, transfer them to a serving plate.
- Cut the sandwiches in half to make them easier to serve and enjoy.
- Serve the Cheesy Garlic Spinach Corn Paneer Sandwich immediately, paired with a refreshing Apple Almond Date Smoothie for a balanced and delicious breakfast or snack.
Tips for Perfect Sandwiches:
- Add extra veggies: For added nutrition, you can throw in some grated carrots or bell peppers into the filling.
- Make it spicy: If you enjoy a little heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or a chopped green chili to the garlic while sautéing.
- Toast it extra crispy: If you like your sandwiches extra crispy, you can brush the bread with a little more herb butter before grilling or even toast it in a sandwich press.
Enjoy this cheesy, garlicky, spinach-packed sandwich that’s both delicious and full of protein! Whether you’re starting your day with a nutritious breakfast or need a quick after-school snack, this sandwich is sure to satisfy.
