Cheese and Corn Sandwich

White or wheat? Mayo or mustard? Hero or gyro?
 However you slice it - there are a million ways -- almost everyone has a favorite sandwich.

The origins of this hands-on meal date back centuries, but it was popularized in 1700s in England by John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, who ordered meat between slices of bread so that he could eat while continuing to play cards :-) It makes me believe that all great things are invented by lazy people. Now some 250 years later, the humble sandwich has grown to encompass infinite regional variations. 

Today, 3rd November is the national Sandwich Day in United States. Like many of these days I have no idea why it's celebrated but here is how I made my cheese and sweet corn sandwich with mayonnaise :-)



Ingredients
Bread slices : 4
Boiled Sweet Corn : 1/2 cup
Green chilli : 1
Chopped garlic : 1 tsp
Butter: 1 tbsp
Grated cheddar cheese: 2 tbsp
Mayonnaise: 2 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:
1. Heat 1/2 tsp butter in a pan and add finely chopped chilli and sauté for 10 seconds, add chopped garlic and fry then add boiled corn, salt and sauté it for 2 minutes and cool it. Mix in mayonnaise and grated cheese.

2. Apply butter on bread slice and spread corn and cheese mixture and cover with another slice of bread. 

3. Apply butter on griller/sandwich maker and grill the sandwich for 5 minutes or until it's golden brown in color.

4. Enjoy hot sandwich with tomato ketchup.



Notes:
1. Do not add more salt as Cheese and mayonnaise have a bit of salt.
2. If you are making it on a pan then roast on both sides on low flame for about 10 minutes.
