Description

These Garlic Bread Nachos are an indulgent twist on traditional nachos, combining the comforting flavors of cheesy garlic bread with Italian-inspired toppings. Cubed garlic bread is loaded with a blend of mozzarella, parmesan, and ricotta cheeses, sprinkled with Italian seasoning, baked until bubbly and golden, then finished with a drizzle of luxurious white truffle oil. Perfect as a decadent appetizer or snack to share.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Garlic Bread Nachos

  • 1 loaf garlic bread, cubed
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon white truffle oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the nachos.
  2. Prepare the garlic bread: Slice the garlic bread into bite-sized cubes and arrange them evenly on a sheet pan to create the base layer of your nachos.
  3. Add cheeses: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses over the cubed garlic bread, ensuring each piece is well covered.
  4. Apply ricotta and seasoning: Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly across the garlic bread cubes, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over all the cheese for added flavor.
  5. Bake the nachos: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheeses to melt thoroughly.
  6. Broil for browning: Switch the oven to the low broil setting and broil the nachos for an additional 2 minutes to achieve a golden, bubbly finish on the cheese.
  7. Finish with truffle oil: Remove the tray from the oven and immediately drizzle the white truffle oil over the hot nachos for an aromatic and luxurious touch. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic bread for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme if desired.
  • For a sharper taste, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before baking.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the cheeses at their meltiest and freshest.
  • White truffle oil is optional but highly recommended for enhancing the flavor profile.
