Scale
Ingredients
- 1 loaf garlic bread, cubed
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 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 garlic bread nachos.
- Prepare garlic bread cubes: Slice the garlic bread into bite-sized cubes and spread them evenly on a sheet pan to create a crispy base.
- Add cheeses: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan over the garlic bread cubes, ensuring good coverage for melty, flavorful cheese.
- Top with ricotta and seasoning: Dollop ricotta cheese around the bread cubes and sprinkle Italian seasoning on top to infuse herbal notes.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheeses to melt and the bread to crisp slightly.
- Broil for finishing touch: Switch the oven to low broil and cook for an additional 2 minutes to brown the cheese slightly and enhance flavor.
- Drizzle with truffle oil: Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately drizzle with white truffle oil to add a rich, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Use day-old garlic bread for best texture to avoid sogginess.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme if unavailable.
- For extra heat, add crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
- Serve immediately for optimal crispness and flavor.
- White truffle oil is optional but highly recommended for a gourmet touch.
