Let’s get started with Spinach and Corn Toast Recipe.

Ingredients Needed:

Basic Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to get started:

  • 1 cup chopped Spinach (fresh)
  • 1 cup Sweet Corn (boiled)
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
  • 1 cup Milk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili Flakes
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (mozzarella or processed cheese)
  • 4 – 6 slices of bread (white, brown, or multigrain)

Optional Add-ons for Extra Flavor

Want to spice things up? Try adding:

  • Chopped Garlic or Onion for extra zing
  • A pinch of Oregano or Italian Seasoning
  • Green Chilies for heat
  • Bell Peppers for crunch

Step-by-Step Preparation Guide

Step 1 – Preparing the Spinach

  • If using fresh spinach, chop it finely.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly.
  • Frozen spinach? Just thaw and squeeze out extra water.

Step 2 – Boiling and Seasoning the Corn

  • Boil sweet corn kernels until soft (about 5 minutes).
  • Drain and set aside.

Step 3 – Creating the Creamy Base

  • In a pan, melt butter.
  • Sauté spinach for 2 – 3 minutes until wilted.
  • Add sweet corn and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add flour and stir well. Cook it for 1- 2 minutes till it turns light golden and its rawness goes away.
  • Slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Add salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
  • Stir in grated cheese. Let it melt and mix into a rich, creamy spread.

Step 4 – Toasting the Bread

  • Lightly toast your bread slices on a tawa, in a toaster, or in the oven. This prevents them from going soggy once topped.

Step 5 – Assembling and Cooking

  • Spread the creamy spinach corn mixture on each toast slice.
  • Sprinkle more cheese if you’re a fan of cheesy magic.
  • Grill in the oven or toast on a pan (cover with a lid) till cheese melts and edges turn crisp.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overcooking the Spinach

Don’t cook spinach too long—it turns bitter and loses its nutrients.

Making the Mixture Too Watery

Use full-fat milk and don’t skip the flour step—it helps thicken the sauce perfectly.
