Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 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 it for baking the garlic bread nachos.
- Prepare the garlic bread: Slice the garlic bread into cubes and evenly arrange them on a baking sheet or sheet pan to create the base for your nachos.
- Add the cheeses: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses evenly over the cubed garlic bread to ensure a cheesy layer that covers each piece.
- Add ricotta and seasonings: Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese around the bread cubes, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over the top to infuse an herby flavor.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheeses to melt and the bread to warm through.
- Broil for finish: Turn your oven broiler to low and broil the nachos for an additional 2 minutes, which will brown and crisp the cheese slightly for more texture.
- Drizzle truffle oil and serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately drizzle with the white truffle oil for an extra layer of rich, aromatic flavor. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, you can broil a little longer but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- If you want to add protein, consider adding cooked sausage or bacon bits before baking.
- These nachos are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for the perfect gooey cheese texture.
- White truffle oil adds a luxurious aroma; if unavailable, you can substitute with a quality olive oil, though flavor will differ.
