Garlic & Cheese Naan

Create a delightful and simple cheesy garlic naan with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect as a side dish or a quick snack, this naan packs a flavor punch with melted mozzarella and aromatic garlic butter.

Ingredients:

🧄 2 cloves garlic
🧈 1/2 stick butter
🍞 2 naan breads
🧀 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
🌿 Chopped cilantro to taste
🧂 Flaky salt to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Garlic Butter:

• Begin by finely mincing the 2 cloves of garlic. Place them into a small microwave-safe bowl. Add the 1/2 stick of butter to the bowl with the garlic.

Melt the Butter:

• Microwave the garlic and butter mixture for approximately 30 seconds, or until the butter is fully melted and the garlic is fragrant.

Prepare the Naan:

• Carefully slice each naan in half using a serrated knife, ensuring not to cut all the way through. The naan should remain half-attached, creating a pocket for the cheese.

Stuff with Cheese:

• Generously fill the pocket of each naan with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Use as much cheese as desired for gooey, cheesy goodness.

Heat the Pan:

• Preheat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat.

Brush with Garlic Butter:

• Using a pastry brush, generously coat one side of the naan with the garlic butter. Place this buttered side down onto the preheated pan.

Cook and Season:

• After placing it in the pan, brush the top side of the naan with more garlic butter. Allow the naan to cook until the cheese is melted and the outside is lightly browned and crispy.

Final Touch:

• Once cooked, remove the naan from the pan. Sprinkle a little flaky salt and chopped cilantro over the top for extra flavor.

Serve:

• Cut each naan into three pieces and serve warm. Enjoy this cheesy, garlicky delight as a side dish or snack.
