Ingredients
- 4 naan breads
- 8 ounces corned beef, sliced
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup sauerkraut
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 naan breads, 8 ounces of sliced corned beef, 4 slices of Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup of sauerkraut, and 2 tablespoons of mustard.
- Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. If you prefer a more toasted naan, you can also preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- While the skillet is heating, spread 1 tablespoon of mustard evenly on each naan bread. This will add a tangy flavor that complements the corned beef.
- Layer the sliced corned beef evenly over the mustard-covered naan. Make sure to distribute the corned beef evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the corned beef on each naan. The cheese will melt beautifully as it cooks.
- Add a spoonful of sauerkraut on top of the Swiss cheese on each naan. The sauerkraut adds a nice crunch and tanginess to the sandwich.
- If using the skillet, carefully place the prepared naan sandwiches into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese begins to melt and the naan is golden brown.
- Once the first side is golden and the cheese is melting, carefully flip the naan sandwiches using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until it is also golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- If using the oven, place the naan sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the naan is lightly toasted.
- Once cooked, remove the naan sandwiches from the skillet or oven and let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half.
- Serve the Corned Beef Swiss Naan Sandwiches warm, and enjoy them with extra mustard or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use freshly sliced deli corned beef and high-quality Swiss cheese for the best flavor.
- Mustard Matters: Don't skimp on the mustard—it adds a crucial tangy kick that elevates the entire sandwich.
- Skillet vs. Oven: For a crispy exterior, use a skillet. For more even heating, use the oven method.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes to help the cheese melt more evenly.
- Sauerkraut Storage: Drain sauerkraut well to prevent a soggy sandwich.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey for maximum enjoyment.
