Description

Garlic Bread Nachos are a delightful twist on traditional nachos, replacing the chips with cubed garlic bread topped with a blend of mozzarella, parmesan, and ricotta cheeses, seasoned with Italian herbs and finished with a drizzle of luxurious white truffle oil. This easy-to-make appetizer is perfect for sharing and combines rich, savory flavors in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Garlic Bread Base

  • 1 loaf garlic bread, cubed

Cheese Toppings

  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

Seasoning and Finishes

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon white truffle oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to get ready for baking your garlic bread nachos evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Bread: Slice the garlic bread into cubes and arrange them evenly on a sheet pan to form the base layer of the nachos.
  3. Add the Mozzarella and Parmesan: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses uniformly over the cubed garlic bread to ensure every piece gets a cheesy topping.
  4. Top with Ricotta and Season: Dollop the ricotta cheese around the bread cubes, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over all the cheese-covered bread for a fragrant herbaceous touch.
  5. Bake in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheeses to melt and blend with the garlic bread.
  6. Broil for a Finish: Switch your oven to the broiler on low and broil for an additional 2 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy top layer on the nachos.
  7. Drizzle with Truffle Oil and Serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately drizzle with white truffle oil for a luxurious finishing flavor, then serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic bread for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute Italian seasoning with dried oregano and basil if unavailable.
  • Broil carefully to avoid burning the cheese; watch closely during the last 2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty cheese and crispy bread texture.
  • For a spicy kick, add some red pepper flakes before baking.
