It’s game day – and by that, I mean it’s time to watch the latest episode of the greatest competition of all time: Great British Bake Off, of course!
To celebrate, I’m teaming up with my friend’s Cabot Creamery to bring you one of my favorite Ina recipes: Fresh Crab Nachos!
It’s a bar-room classic with the volume turned up! Though more involved than traditional nachos, these sophisticated bites perfectly reflect Ina’s signature style of combining upscale ingredients with casual comfort food.
Yellow corn chips are topped with dollops of the tasty crab mixture containing the Midwest’s “holy trinity” (mayonnaise, cream cheese, and sour cream), as well as scallions, green chilies, and lime zest, Each layer gets generous amounts of Cabot’s extra-sharp white cheddar and Pepper Jack cheese, plus pickled jalapeños.
After baking until melty and bubbly, the nachos are finished with fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, avocado, parsley, and a bright splash of lime.
