Cheese Corn Sandwich

There’s something about corn that just screams “summertime” perhaps it’s that corn is freshest in summer and fall making it a perfect veggie to accompany many meals throughout those hotter months.

Grilled corn is perfect too because grilling helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the corn. Pair that with this avocado cheese sandwich and you have yourself a winning combination of textures and flavors in every bite. This corn avocado grilled cheese sandwich is perfect all summer long.

FAQs

What cheese is best for grilled cheese?

You can use any cheese for this grilled cheese sandwich but I like to use pepper jack. Not only does it melt beautifully but it also adds a little kick of spice that pairs well to offset the natural sweetness in the veggies which makes the sandwich feel more well-rounded.

What bread for grilled cheese?

I like to use sliced french bread because its got a nice hearty crust and a chewy texture. Other bread like thick-cut sourdough, brioch, potato bread or artisan breads would work as well.

Can I grill my corn in advance?

Absoltuely! Grill up your summer corn this weekend for dinner, set a few aside and save the kernels for these sandwiches throughout the week. You can keep your cooked grilled corn kernels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days giving you plenty of time to enjoy some tasty grilled cheese lunches.
