Charcuterie Nachos Recipe: Easy, Homemade Crowd-Pleaser FAQs
It’s best served fresh for crisp chips and melty cheese, but you can prep ingredients ahead and assemble just before baking.
Cooked bacon, ham, or even cooked sausage slices work well if you prefer milder flavors or don’t have charcuterie meats.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
Using thin or fragile chips or adding wet toppings before baking can cause soggy nachos. Use sturdy chips and add fresh toppings after baking.
