Sorry, pizza. All our scrumptious toppings are now being allocated to platters of tantalizing Italian nachos.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup sliced black or green olives, drained
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green pepper or sweet red pepper
  • 3/4 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini
  • Chopped fresh basil, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
  • Marinara sauce, warmed, for dipping

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Divide 2 tablespoons of olive oil between two baking sheets, brushing it evenly over the surface. Cut the wonton wrappers in half diagonally; arrange on the baking sheets in a single layer. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake 6-8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove promptly; set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage; cook 6-8 minutes or until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. To assemble the nachos, transfer the wonton chips to a single sheet pan; sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Top with cooked Italian sausage, pepperoni, olives and peppers. Bake 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and pepperoni is lightly toasted. Meanwhile, place the Alfredo sauce in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high about 1 minute or until hot.
  5. Drizzle Alfredo sauce over the nachos; top with tomatoes and pepperoncinis. Top with desired garnishes; serve with warm marinara for dipping.
