How To Make Easy Breakfast Nachos

  1. Start with preheating the oven to 400℉/200℃. In the meantime, take a piece of parchment paper and put it on a baking tray.
  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet to hot and pan-fry your bacon without any baking product. Bacon has a lot of fat so no need for additional fat is needed.
  3. Cut the bacon into small pieces and set it aside.
  4. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and divide the first layer of tortilla chips. Cover the tortilla chips with your favorite grated cheese.

  5. Then add a second layer of tortilla chips and cover with the bacon strips. Finish with a second layer of grated cheese. Put in the oven for 7 minutes.
  6. Reheat the skillet to medium heat and beat the eggs. Take a bit of cooking spray and scramble the eggs in the skillet. Let them cook for a couple of minutes.
  7. Take the baking tray out of the oven. Divide the scrambled eggs on top of the nachos. Cut the avocado into small dice and sprinkle on the nachos.
  8. Add small dollops of tomato roasted salsa on top of the nachos as well. Decorate with fresh cilantro. If you like you can add some sour cream as well and your breakfast nachos are ready to serve.

Breakfast Nachos Recipe

What is the best snack ever? My top 3 would be:

  1. Homemade corn tortilla chips
  2. Vegetarian nachos
  3. Vegan nachos

Ok, maybe I would try to fit homemade potato chips in this top 3 somewhere. You could say I love a snack with crunch and I love easy snacks.

With this recipe, there is even more reason to eat nachos because you can even make them for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. These nachos are oven-baked with cooking spray to get them done in under 10 minutes.

If you do not have tortilla chips but do have corn tortillas in your kitchen cabinet, no worries you can make your own.

The Best Cheese For Nachos

There are a lot of cheeses you can use on your nachos e.g.:

  • Gouda – Being Dutch logically I use a Dutch cheese like grated Gouda. A cheese that melts well into a bubbly mess
  • Monterey Jack – True American cheese smooth texture and a mild taste
  • Cheddar – cheese with a lot of moisture and a sharp taste great for nachos
  • Gruyere – A Swiss cheese that contains less salt than other cheeses. Due to the limited amount of salt, this cheese melts easily
  • Mozzarella – use the hard-grated version of mozzarella. You can choose the buffalo mozzarella as well but these work better on e.g. pizza
  • Manchego – a mild Spanish goat’s cheese that has a specific taste. Contains a little more oil so this cheese can “sweat” when you heat it in the oven
