The only butterfly in this sandwich is the shape J
A hot grilled sandwich is an all time favourite in our house. I usually dress up some left over stir fries with white sauce- stuff it in between two slices of bread and grill it till crisp and you get Irresistible, yummy crisp sandwiches.
The stir fries which get this L look in the morning (usually for lunch) suddenly get this J look with the grilled sandwich.
Enjoy this hot grilled Butterfly sandwich with a cup of tea in the wet cozy rainy weather!

Butterfly Sandwich recipe
For 4 sandwiches
_____________________________________________________
8 Slices of sandwich bread
2-3 tsp Butter for the sandwich
For the White Sauce:
- 2 tsp butter
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour (Maida)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tsp mustard freshly ground powder
- xbd tsp white pepper powder
- 1 - 2 tbsp cheese Grated (optional)
- to taste Salt
- sauce White
- 1 xbd cups chopped sautxe9ed mix vegetables (I have used Sweet corn, Purple cabbage, French beans, tomatoes)
- Mix the maida with the milk and remove lumps if any.
- Heat butter in a pan.
- Add the milk-maida to it. Let it boil for a few minutes and it starts thickening.
- Add the other ingredients-mustard powder, pepper powder, cheese and salt. Mustard powder adds a nice zing to the sauce.
- Cook for a few more minutes. (Adjust the proportion of maida depending on the consistency of the sauce required. I made this semiliquid-not too thick nor too thin.)
- You can also first cook the Maida directly in the butter without blending it with the milk and then add the milk. I usually end up with lumps in my sauce that way so I prefer the first blending and then cooking method!
- Add cooked/ sautxe9ed vegetables to the white sauce. (Add some green chillies to the veggies while cooking to make it spicer.) Mix nicely till the white sauce coats the veggies.
- Cool and divide into four portions
- Spread some butter on one side on each bread slice.
- Spread one portion of the filling on one slice of bread and top with another slice
- Brush a little butter on the outer surface of the sandwich and Grill in a sandwich toaster till golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining bread slices.
