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
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to get ready for baking your garlic bread nachos evenly and thoroughly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
