Italian Nachos… I’m sure my Italian blooded friends would be upset by that name, but I think it works well for this meaty sauce served over toasted bread and smothered with cheese.\u00a0 This\u00a0 hearty appetizer is great for large gatherings with a sauce that can be made a day or two in advance and reheated prior to serving.<\/p>\n

Keys to Make this Great…<\/h3>\n
\"1\/4<\/a>
1\/4 inch baguette slices drizzled with olive oil and toasted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Make sure you keep the baguette slices cut at about a quarter of an inch and put a fair amount of olive oil on each one.\u00a0 At about five minutes in the oven at 400\u00b0 the edges get nice and crisp and the center stays strong enough to support the sauce even if it soaks in a bit. See the closeups of the pictures for better detail.<\/p>\n

The cheese topping… I use a three cheese blend from my local grocery store, and the Asiago is what puts this recipe over the top for me.\u00a0 Its a bit stronger then Parmesan but adds so much more flavor.\u00a0 My wife and kids think its to strong, so when I need a milder flavor I’ll put shredded Mozzarella over half the plate for them and my cheese over the other half.<\/p>\n

Lastly, if you add a side salad, toast one baguette’s worth of bread (that’s what is shown in the pictures), and serve half the sauce over it, you have a pretty filling meal for 3 to 4 people.<\/p>\n
