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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for melting the cheeses and crisping the garlic bread cubes evenly.
- Prepare Garlic Bread: Slice the garlic bread into bite-sized cubes and arrange them evenly on a sheet pan to create a base layer for your nachos.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle both the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic bread cubes to cover them with a rich cheesy layer.
- Dollop Ricotta and Season: Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese around the garlic bread pieces, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over all the cheese for an herby, aromatic touch.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes to melt the cheeses thoroughly and heat the bread through.
- Broil for Crispness: Switch the oven to the broiler setting on low and broil the nachos for 2 minutes to develop a lightly browned and crispy top.
- Finish with Truffle Oil: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with white truffle oil to add a fragrant and luxurious flavor boost before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic bread for best texture; day-old bread can be toasted before cubing.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, omit or reduce the white truffle oil.
- To customize, add sliced olives, diced tomatoes, or cooked Italian sausage before baking.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftover nachos can be reheated but may lose crispness.
- Italian seasoning can be substituted with dried oregano and basil if preferred.
