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
Seasonings and Oil
- 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 nachos evenly.
- Prepare Garlic Bread Cubes: Slice the garlic bread into bite-sized cubes and arrange them evenly on a sheet pan to create the base layer.
- Add Mozzarella and Parmesan: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese uniformly over the garlic bread cubes to ensure every bite is cheesy.
- Apply Ricotta and Seasoning: Place dollops of ricotta cheese around the garlic bread, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over all the cheeses for aromatic flavor.
- Bake the Nachos: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheeses to melt and the garlic bread to toast.
- Broil for Finish: Switch the oven setting to broil on low and broil the nachos for an additional 2 minutes to achieve a slightly golden, bubbly cheese topping.
- Drizzle with Truffle Oil: Remove from the oven carefully and drizzle white truffle oil over the top for a luxurious finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic bread for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of cheese according to your preference.
- Keep an eye on the broiler stage to prevent burning.
- White truffle oil is optional but adds an amazing aroma and flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and cheese melt.
