Ingredients
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
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the nachos.
- 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.
- Add cheeses: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses over the cubed garlic bread, ensuring each piece is well covered.
- 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.
- Bake the nachos: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheeses to melt thoroughly.
- 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.
- 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.
