Puff Pastry Nachos

I’m such a big fan of Super Bowl food, so these Puff Pastry Nachos are going to fit nicely into my Super Bowl menu this year.

Puff Pastry Nachos

If I could eat nachos a few times a week for a main meal, I’d be totally okay with that. Anything smothered with melted cheese, beans, olives, tomatoes, jalapeños, guacamole and sour cream…. YES, PLEASE. So I know that’s not super realistic, but I’m a major nachos fan, for sure. I decided that Puff Pastry might make a great vehicle for nachos. Turns out I was right.

🛒Ingredients needed:

• puff pastry
• refried beans
• tomatoes
• olives
• shredded cheddar cheese
• avocado
• jalapeño
• sour cream

✏️How to make Puff Pastry Nachos:

*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.

1. Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
2. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut 1 inch squares from the Puff Pastry. You should be able to get 36 squares from one sheet. Place the squares on the baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch space between each square.
3. Place a small dab of beans on each pastry square. Top with a tomato and an olive. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from the oven and top each with a sprinkle of the shredded cheese. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, just until cheese is melted and pastry is lightly browned.
4. For serving, top each with avocado and/or jalapeño and a small dollop of sour cream.

➡️Recipe Tips:

• Make- ahead tip: Prepare nachos through topping with beans, tomato and olive. Wrap the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 hours before baking. To bake, remove from the refrigerator, discard plastic wrap, and bake & finish as directed.
• Jalapeños are a fairly mild chili, but it you’re looking for something with even less heat try poblanos instead.
• If you like a little tang, try a couple drops of fresh lime on top of the finished nachos.

✔️What to serve with Puff Pastry Nachos:

• These are such a great party appetizer, so you’re going to need a few more. I like to serve Buffalo Chicken Dip alongside this.
• For an appetizer that brings freshness to the table try these Easy Greek Appetizer Skewers.
• An array of sparkling waters, beers and wine will round out your party refreshments.

★How to Store:

These will always be best when they’re hot and fresh, but you can save leftovers in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. When reheating, spoon off the sour cream and gently reheat in the microwave. If you have the time, they can also be reheated in the oven at 350℉ for about 10 minutes.

❤️Why I love this recipe:

1. Going back to where I began, I love nachos! These are a fun twist on the classic, plus they’re delicious!
2. These nachos aways get rave reviews from guests and family alike and I certainly love that.
3. I love having fun Super Bowl food and these you can prepare ahead by wrapping the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerating it. I like getting a jump on things!
