Spinach Artichoke Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lay out the pretzel crisps in an even layer on a baking sheet and top with the artichokes, spinach, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Plan to create 5 sections of nacho flavors, each section with 3 layers of ingredients. Spread one-third of the chips in an even layer on foil-lined baking sheet, then follow the directions to build each section. Once all sections are assembled, bake until cheese is melted and ingredients are hot, 8-10 minutes. Then finish with fresh toppings.
• For the Spinach-Artichoke Dip Nachos:
• Working in the first section, spread one-third of the spinach dip over chips with a spoon. Top with one-third of the onions, artichoke hearts, Fontina, and Parmesan. Repeat with 2 more layers of chips and ingredients.
• After baking, top with sliced tomatoes.
• For the Loaded Potato Skin Nachos:
• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, working in batches if necessary, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Crumble bacon once cooled. Pour fat from skillet into a heatproof bowl, leaving burned bits in skillet. Wipe out skillet and return bacon fat to skillet.
• Peel potatoes in long, thin strips, reserving potato skins. Heat skillet with fat over medium-high and fry potato skins, turning, until golden brown, 4-6 minutes. Transfer skins to another paper towel-lined plate, reserving fat in skillet; season skins with salt.
• Cut potato flesh into 1/2" cubes. Heat skillet with fat over medium and add potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and cooked through, 8-12 minutes. Transfer to another paper towel-lined plate.
• Working in the second section, top tortilla chips with one-third of the potato chips, cubed potatoes, bacon, cheddar, Monterey Jack, 3/4 cup sour cream, scallions, and paprika. Repeat with 2 more layers of chips and ingredients.
• After baking, top with additional sour cream, fried potato skin strips, chives, avocado, and pepper.
• For the Baby Back Rib Nachos:
• Toss pork in 1/2 cup barbecue sauce in a large bowl. Working in the third section, top tortilla chips with one-third of the pork, mozzarella, and jalapeños. Repeat with 2 more layers of chips and ingredients.
• After baking, drizzle with additional barbecue sauce and top with slaw, white onion, and cilantro.
• For the Meat Lover's Pizza Nachos:
• Working in the fourth section, drizzle tortilla chips with one-third of the marinara sauce, then top with one-third of the pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, bell peppers, mozzarella, and Pecorino. Repeat with 2 more layers of chips and ingredients.
• After baking, top with olives, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, oregano, and basil.
• For the Buffalo Chicken Nachos:
• Toss chicken in 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce in a large bowl. Working in the fifth section, top tortilla chips with one-third of the chicken, Colby cheese, blue cheese, and red onion. Repeat with 2 more layers of chips and ingredients.
• After baking, drizzle with additional wing sauce and top with celery stalks, leaves, and pepperoncini peppers.
• To serve:
• While nachos bake, heat queso dip until hot in microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water. Place tostada bowl in the center of the baked nachos and fill with queso dip. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.
