Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Comfort Food Upgrade: Grilled cheese is a classic comfort food, and this recipe takes it to the next level with the infusion of cannabis and the use of naan bread. It provides a comforting and familiar foundation with an added layer of sophistication.

Ingredient Substitutions
- Garlic Naan: Whole wheat pita bread is a healthier option that still offers a similar soft texture. It has a mild flavor that pairs well with the cheeses and cannabis butter, and it crisps up nicely when grilled, giving you a satisfying bite.
- Double Cheddar Cheese: Mozzarella cheese is a milder, creamier cheese that melts beautifully, creating a stretchy, gooey texture. It’s a great alternative if you want a less sharp flavor but still desire a melty, cheesy experience.
TIPS & TRICKS
- After folding the naan in half, gently press it down with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts evenly and the naan crisps up nicely. This will also help the sandwich hold its shape and make it easier to handle.
- If you find the cheese isn’t melting quickly enough, lower the heat slightly and cover the pan with a lid for a minute or two. This creates a mini-oven effect, allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly without overcooking the naan.
