🧀 Ingredients
You can find a full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below. Here are a few ingredient notes to make these cheese naan.
- Garlic - if you want to choose your garlic carefully so you do not encourage the slavery of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.
- Cheeses - I used mozzarella cheese, sharp cheddar cheese and Gruyère cheese, but you can use whatever you like (just make sure you choose a cheese that melts with heat).
- Naan - for those who don't know, it's a thin flatbread, a classic of the Indian food, which is made with flour, yogurt and water. You can make homemade naan or store-bought naan, you choose!
🍗What to serve them with?
I suggest several options:
- Butter chicken, an incredibly tasty Indian dish - and if you want to add a fun twist, check my butter chicken naan sandwiches with melted mozzarella...they're just amazing!
- Tomato soup, a real classic, viral on social networks, and it goes really well with Grilled Cheese.
- Fresh herbs - I used parsley but you can also go for fresh chopped cilantro if you prefer.
- Mango chutney, a classic side in India.
- Or an Indian curry

✨How to make these Naan sandwiches?
Recipe details and quantities are in the recipe card below.
- In a mixing bowl, mix the soft butter with the pressed garlic, chopped parsley, salt and black pepper.
- Spread the garlic butter on the first side of a naan. Then turn it oven and spread again on the other side.
- Fill the prepped naan breads with a handful of cheese and fold the naan over itself.
- Cook, covered, over medium heat on both sides, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a small piece of kitchen paper and pat gently to remove excess cooking butter, before transferring to a plate.
- Repeat steps until each naan is ready.
👩🏻🍳 Chef's tips
- The butter helps to have a slightly crispy exterior.
- If your Naan unfolds when you put it in the pan, put a wooden spoon on it when cooking on the first side. This will keep the naan from opening.
- If you don't have a garlic press, you can chop garlic instead very, very thinly.
