Why choose between a charcuterie board and a plate of nachos when you can have the best of both? I’ve always wanted to turn our biscuit crackers into something a little unexpected, and Southern charcuterie nachos felt like the perfect way to do it. They take everything we love about a classic board and turn it into a fun, shareable appetizer that’s easy to make and even easier to snack on.

Using creamy brie, savory Edwards Country Ham, a little heat from jalapeños, and a drizzle of our raspberry red pepper preserves, this dish hits all the right sweet and savory notes. It’s light, flavorful, and ideal for casual gatherings, game days, or anytime you want an easy appetizer with a Southern spin.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a small baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.

2. Add crackers to the baking sheet and arrange for the crackers to cover the entire surface. It’s okay for them to overlap!

3. Next, cut your brie into small bite sized pieces. Sprinkle those over the crackers. Repeat the process with your country ham.

4. Season with your favorite herbs and spices! Optionally, at this time, add your sliced jalapeños.

5. Bake in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. Be sure to keep an eye on the nachos in order to not burn the cheese! Remove from the oven and add your choice of additional toppings. I used pickled red onions, sliced green onions, and dollops of Raspberry Red Pepper Preserves and a drizzle of honey for a kick of sweetness. Enjoy!
