Ingredients

• 1 bag salt and vinegar kettle chips (approximately 200 grams, or salted kettle chips)
• 6 slices prosciutto (torn into smaller pieces)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Step 2: Spread the bag of kettle chips evenly over a large rimmed baking tray or sheet pan to form a single layer.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle half of the parmesan cheese evenly over the chips.
4. Step 4: Distribute the torn prosciutto, sliced genoa salami, and brie pieces evenly on top of the chips.
5. Step 5: Dollop the fig jam across the chips using a spoon for balanced sweetness.
6. Step 6: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the brie melts and the cheese is bubbling.
7. Step 7: Remove the tray from the oven, drizzle hot honey over the nachos, sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese, garnish with thinly sliced basil if using, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use spicy deli meats for an added kick or swap fig jam for apricot preserves to vary the sweetness.
• For a vegetarian twist, replace meats with roasted vegetables or olives.
• Serve with a side of creamy mustard or aioli for dipping.

Storage

Charcuterie Nachos are best enjoyed fresh for optimal crunch and flavor. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in the oven to melt the cheese again, but note that chips may lose some crispness.

FAQs

Can I use different types of chips?

Yes, salted kettle chips are recommended for their sturdy crunch and flavor, but you can substitute with tortilla chips or other thick chips. Just keep in mind the texture and flavor differences.

Is there a non-alcoholic option for charcuterie meats?

Some deli meats may contain trace alcohol from curing, so look for explicitly alcohol-free options or use plant-based deli slices if preferred.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for melting the cheese without burning the chips.
2. Arrange Chips: Pour the entire bag of salt and vinegar kettle chips onto a large rimmed baking tray or sheet pan and spread them out evenly into a single layer to create a base for the toppings.
3. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle half of the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chips to add a savory flavor and cheese base.
4. Layer Meats and Brie: Distribute the torn prosciutto slices, bite-sized genoa salami pieces, and chunks of brie evenly over the chips and parmesan, ensuring every chip gets some savory and creamy toppings.
5. Add Fig Jam: Using a spoon, dollop the fig jam across the chips and toppings in small amounts to add sweetness and complement the salty meats and cheese.
6. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheeses melt nicely and the toppings are warmed through.
7. Finish and Garnish: Remove the nachos from the oven immediately. Drizzle hot honey over the top, sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese evenly, then garnish with thinly sliced fresh basil leaves for a fresh, aromatic finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

• Feel free to substitute kettle chips with any sturdy, flavored chip to support the toppings.
• Adjust the amount of hot honey to your desired level of sweetness and heat.
• For a vegetarian version, omit the meats and increase the cheese and jam.
• Basil is optional but adds a fresh herbal note that balances the flavors.
• Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the melted cheese texture and warm toppings.
