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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread nachos.
- Prepare the garlic bread: Slice the garlic bread loaf into evenly sized cubes and arrange them in a single layer on a sheet pan for even cooking.
- Add the cheeses: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheeses over the cubed garlic bread, allowing the cheese to melt and bind the pieces together.
- Add ricotta and seasoning: Dollop the ricotta cheese sporadically over the garlic bread and sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top to add herbaceous flavor throughout.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheeses melt and the bread starts to become tender.
- Broil: Turn the oven broiler to low heat and broil the nachos for an additional 2 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy top on the cheese.
- Finish and serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately drizzle the white truffle oil over the top to impart a luxurious, aromatic finish. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic bread for best flavor and texture.
- Italian seasoning can be substituted with dried oregano, basil, and thyme mixed together.
- Adjust the amount of cheese to your preference for creaminess and richness.
- White truffle oil is optional but adds a sophisticated aroma and depth.
- Serve immediately to enjoy melted cheese and crispy garlic bread cubes.
