If this is what you're restricted to, (ie. no eggs, milk, spices/herbs, etc.) then I'd say you were looking at a chance at a fondant-texture cheese dough, if you're patient? Essentially, a roux to a Beschamel without milk, but it'll take a steady heat and a non-stop, gentle stir/folding.
I'd start by rendering the oils from ~⅓ of the cheese, and begin the roux from there. Then, slowly and completely, melt only enough grated from the ⅔ to emulsify without clumping.
Continue until the roux won't take any more grated without breaking (you'll see oils sweating/escaping on the surface, just dust w/ sifted flour and fold until absorbed evenly)
Assume a basic pantry. So yes, eggs, milk, herbs, spices, baking powder, yeast, butter, etc.
If you've got yogurt, I highly recommend cheddar naan. 😱🫠🤘🏻
Oooh do you have a particular recipe for this?
Nah, naan is pretty foolproof and even fairly forgiving, too. Have fun, and don't overthink it. Get creative, find your flow, discover where you're able to blur lines. 🤓🤙🏼
Bonus: I will say that if you want the cheddar to be more subtle and pervasive in each bite, then mince it post-grating and sprinkle it when adding to help separate the pieces.
If you're wanting crispy cheese bits on the surface instead, then aim for a larger grate and add the cheese right before baking/pan-frying with minimal mixing. 🥳
Thanks, I'm going to try this out!
Cheddar naan sounds epic. I have made naan. I have never put cheddar in it or on it. Some butter, garlic and parsley. It's probably heaven.
The best time to make cheddar naan is yesterday, but the next best time? It's today. ✨
saw a "recipe" by Guga for a spicy cheesy cornbread today that looked pretty fire. Two boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix, eggs, milk, butter, poured in buttered cast iron with a layer of sliced pepper jack halfway through. Looked pretty damned good.
Heh, "recipe" indeed.
I stopped using the blue box a long time ago, but one of my favorite cornbreads is your basic cornbread mat mixture (recipe available on request) with either bacon or smoked hog jowl, cheddar cheese and jalapenos mixed in.
Chopped hog jowls are low key fire.
Mmm, hog jowls. Such gluttony-adjacent succulence. 🤌🏼
