CHEESY PICKLE NACHOS

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup light lager style beer
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 ounces Havarti cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
3 jalapeno-Cheddar brats
One 8-ounce bag kettle chips
8 to 10 pickle chips
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Sriracha, as desired
Ranch dressing, as desired

Steps:

  • For the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the flour. Cook, whisking continuously, until the roux starts to smell toasty but has not taken on any color yet, about 5 minutes. Carefully whisk in the milk until there are no lumps. Add the beer, mustard powder, salt and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, whisking, then cook until thick enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the grated cheese and cream cheese and whisk until melted. Turn the heat to very low and keep warm.
  • For the cheesy pickle nachos: Score the brats and char in a grill pan heated over medium-high for a few minutes on each side or in a saute pan under the broiler. (This can also be done on the grill outside.) Remove from the heat and slice on a hard bias. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Dump the bag of chips into a serving dish. Top with the warm cheese sauce, sliced brats, pickle chips and chopped dill. Drizzle on the sriracha and ranch dressing and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, cheese, and meat will give your nacho tots the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the nacho tots, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the nacho tots until they are crispy: The nacho tots should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to nacho tot toppings. Some popular options include cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
  • Serve the nacho tots immediately: Nacho tots are best served immediately after they are cooked, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Crispy cheesy nacho tots are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for something to satisfy your cravings, give these nacho tots a try.
