  3. Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Drizzle the sauce over the chips making sure to get some sauce on each chip.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce. Next top the mozzarella cheese with the Parmesan cheese.
  6. Dust all the cheese-covered chips with dried oregano.

Notes

Use baked tortilla chips to decrease the fat.

If you are making these Pizza Nachos in a toaster oven use a toaster oven sized baking sheet. You could also use a pie pan.

Lower the rack in the toaster oven. If you leave it on the middle rack the nachos may get done sooner and burn so keep an eye on them.

You can adjust all of these ingredients to your taste.

Yield: 4 servings

Roasted Garlic

Ingredients

  • 2 garlic bulbs
  • 2 - 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt, Kosher (to taste)
  • Pepper, fresh ground (to taste)
  • Sliced bread or toast (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch slice from the top of the garlic bulbs. Cut off enough so the cloves are exposed.
  3. Carefully peel off the outer paper-like skin from the garlic bulbs. Leave enough to hold the garlic cloves together.
  4. Place the bulbs cut side up on a 12 inch piece of aluminum foil.
  5. Drizzle 1 - 2 teaspoons of olive oil over each bulb. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  6. Wrap each bulb in the foil. Place in a shallow baking dish or pie pan.
  7. Bake about 45 minutes or until the garlic is tender when pierced with a fork or toothpick.
  8. Squeeze the soft garlic out of the cloves. Spread the garlic on bread or toast. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

Wait until the garlic bulbs are cool enough to touch before squeezing out the soft garlic.

Try spreading the garlic on some bread and then sprinkling some toasted almonds over the garlic. It is delicious!

Adjust this recipe to make as many Roasted Garlic servings as you desire. Use one garlic bulb for every 2 servings.
