Ingredients
Scale
Chips
- 24 sturdy chips (potato kettle-style or waffle or tortilla nachos)
Meat and Cheese
- 75 g (2 oz) prosciutto or salami, torn into bite-size pieces
- 75 g (2 oz) Brie or Camembert, sliced thinly
Flavorings
- 2 tbsp fig jam or honey
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
Optional Garnishes
- Cornichons
- Olives
- Microgreens
- Crushed nuts
Instructions
- Arrange the chips: Spread the sturdy kettle-style or chosen chips evenly on an oven-safe tray or baking sheet to create a base layer for the toppings.
- Add the charcuterie and cheese: Distribute the torn prosciutto or salami pieces over the chips, then layer the thin slices of Brie or Camembert evenly across the top to ensure a melty, creamy finish.
- Bake and garnish: Place the tray under a broiler or in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 5–6 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. Remove from the oven, drizzle with fig jam or honey, sprinkle with fresh chopped thyme or rosemary, and optionally garnish with cornichons, olives, microgreens, or crushed nuts before serving.
Notes
- Use sturdy chips like kettle-style, waffle, or thick tortilla to hold up under the toppings without becoming soggy.
- Prosciutto or salami adds a salty, savory flavor; feel free to substitute with other cured meats of your choice.
- Brie or Camembert melts beautifully, providing a creamy texture to complement the saltiness of the meat.
- The fig jam or honey adds a subtle sweetness that balances the salty and savory elements.
- Fresh thyme or rosemary elevates the flavor with an herbal note.
- Optional garnishes add texture and additional flavor complexity.
- For best results, serve immediately while the cheese is warm and melty.
