For a French twist on nachos, dig into this pile of gooey Brie, sautéed mushrooms, and chopped spinach, dotted with creamy blue cheese.
Oh, the veggie nacho. It's always (and I mean always) the same old Southwestern ingredients: corn, beans, salsa, and so on. And while there's nothing wrong with the classic, I wanted to see what other combo I could come up with. I started with the cheese, and after thinking about gooey, melty varieties, I landed on one of the best: brie. After that, all I had to do was come up with some veggies to match that would involve minimal prep. Here, chopped baby spinach goes in raw and comes out of the oven perfectly wilted, while mushrooms are quickly sautéed (only 2 minutes). For even more flavor, sliced onions are scattered on top with a handful of crumbled blue cheese. And though I'm no sommelier, I'll bet a bottle of white would match up just swell.
