Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 1 cup paneer, sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup cheese, grated
- Butter for spreading
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by bringing paneer, corn, and cheese to room temperature. Ensure paneer is sliced thinly and corn kernels are fresh or thawed.
- Butter one side of each bread slice generously. This will help create a crispy, golden-brown exterior when grilling.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or flat pan over medium heat. Ensure the surface is evenly heated to prevent burning.
- Place one bread slice butter-side down on the heated surface.
- Layer the bread with grated cheese as the first base layer, creating an even spread.
- Add sliced paneer pieces uniformly across the cheese layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle corn kernels over the paneer, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Add another layer of grated cheese on top of the corn to help bind ingredients and create a melty texture.
- Cover the layered ingredients with the second bread slice, butter-side facing up.
- Grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until bread turns golden brown and crispy, and cheese melts completely.
- Press gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure even cooking and compact sandwich structure.
- Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve hot with optional mint chutney or ketchup.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even melting and optimal flavor blending.
- Butter is Your Best Friend: Use room temperature butter and spread it generously on the bread's exterior for that perfect golden-brown crispiness.
- Low and Slow Wins: Cook the sandwich on medium heat to achieve a crispy exterior without burning the bread.
- Cheese Layer Strategy: Create a complete cheese base on both sides of the filling to ensure maximum meltiness.
- Press Gently: Use a spatula to press the sandwich lightly while grilling, helping ingredients meld together and creating a compact, uniform texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with mint chutney or ketchup for an extra flavor kick, and serve immediately while the cheese is still gloriously melted.
- Ingredient Quality: Use fresh, high-quality paneer and sweet corn for the best possible taste and texture.
