Leftover Naan Breads

You know how sometimes you feel a little peckish, but don't want to eat a full meal and spoil your appetite?  What happens?  You go hunting through your cupboards and the fridge to see if there's anything you can munch on.  The night before your shopping trip, this can turn up just about nothing and you're left feeling unsatisfied.  

Yeah, that happened to me this afternoon, til at the back of the fridge, I found a leftover Naan Bread from the Chicken  Korma and Rice I made a week ago.  Out here in Canada, I can't seem to get Garlic and Rosemary Naan Breads anywhere, only original tandoori, or whole wheat, but no matter, I can work just as well with those.  So, this afternoon, I figured out a little trick with the Naan bread to make a nice little snack.

Ingredients.

  • Naan Breads (whichever ones you prefer)
  • Butter or Margarine
  • Parmesan Cheese ...we use the stuff that's pre-shredded in a tub because we're cheap lol.
  • Dried herbs of your choice.
Turn your oven onto the grill setting. If you don't have a grill setting, use the highest heat setting it has.

Spread the butter or margarine onto one side of the naan breads.  Don't use much, but make sure there's a thin coating all over them.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of the butter.  If you use the same stuff we do, you don't need too much.  I sprinkle it with my fingers, it gives me good control.

Sprinkle your choice of herbs over the butter/margarine and cheese.  Do be warned that you don't need much!  Dried herbs have a stronger taste than fresh.  Just a light sprinkling will be ample.

Place the Naan breads onto a baking tray and place in the oven.  Keep an eye on them!  Let them go until the butter or margarine has melted and the naan bread is warmed through, usually 5 minutes max.

To serve, cut in half length ways, and then cut into thick slices width ways, almost like toast soldiers for boiled eggs.

These are simple but so so yummy!  Myself and my friend enjoyed them so much that I'm going to start buying Naan Breads just so I can make this more often.  It's light, not too filling and so so yummy!!

Till next time, keep cookin'!
