Can I make these ahead of time?
Assemble the nachos up to 2 hours before baking and store covered in the refrigerator. Bake just before serving for the best melted cheese texture.
What if I don't have brie cheese?
Camembert, fontina, or a mild gouda work well as substitutes for brie; they'll melt at similar rates at 400°F.
How do I know when the brie is melted enough?
Bake for 5–7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and just beginning to brown slightly around the edges; it will continue to soften as it cools slightly.
Can I use different meats?
Yes; substitutions like guanciale, speck, or smoked salmon work well. Use the same 6 oz total weight of torn or sliced cured meats.
Should I use thick or thin potato chips?
Ridged chips (as specified) hold toppings better than thin chips and stay crispy longer under the hot cheese and toppings.
