  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 6

Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 oz (340 g) sturdy tortilla chips

  • 1½ cups shredded melting cheese (mozzarella, provolone, or fontina)

  • ½ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese

  • 5–6 oz mixed charcuterie, torn (prosciutto, salami, soppressata)

  • ½ cup kalamata or green olives, halved

  • ⅓ cup cornichons or pickled jalapeños, sliced

  • ⅓ cup peppadew or cherry peppers, chopped (optional)

  • 3 tbsp fig jam or honey (for drizzle)

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (whisk into jam for a sweet-tangy finish)

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • Fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or oregano), chopped

  • Freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the oven: Preheat to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.

  • Layer the base: Spread tortilla chips in an even layer. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.

  • Load the toppings: Scatter charcuterie, olives, pickles/jalapeños, and peppers over the chips. Top with remaining shredded cheese.

  • Bake: Drizzle lightly with olive oil and bake 6–8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and edges are crisp.

  • Finish: Whisk fig jam with Dijon (loosen with a teaspoon of warm water if needed). Drizzle over hot nachos. Add feta crumbles, herbs, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  • Serve: Transfer to a board or serve right on the pan. Enjoy immediately while cheesy and crisp.

Notes

  • Chip choice: Use thick, restaurant-style tortilla chips so they stay crunchy under toppings.

  • Balance the flavors: The sweet fig jam + salty meats + briny olives makes the “charcuterie” vibe—don’t skip the drizzle.

  • Make it your way: Add roasted red peppers, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, or a balsamic glaze.

  • Keep it melty: Low-moisture cheeses (mozzarella/provolone/fontina) melt best; add feta after baking so it stays creamy.

  • Crowd size: For a party, build two thin layers on two pans instead of one thick pile for max crunch.

  • Diet swaps: Use turkey salami or omit meats and add marinated chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
