Our favorite snack of the weekend was something we affectionately dubbed Balsamic and Blue Cheese Nachos. My mom and I invented these while I was on maternity leave years ago. I am sure we were inspired by the flavors of something we had in a restaurant, but I cannot remember the particulars. They are so EASY and so DELICIOUS that we had to share. Try them at your next party!!! Your guests will thank you.
Here's how you make them: Grab a bag of good quality kettle chips from the grocery. I used Boulder Canyon Kettle Chips in the Balsamic Vinegar and Rosemary flavor. Spread them into a single layer in an oven-safe dish or pan. Sprinkle a nice quality blue cheese generously over the top. Repeat with another layer of chips and then cheese.
Bake it at 350 degrees for about five minutes. Watch them carefully because cooking times may vary. You want the cheese to be melted and a bit bubbly, but the chips should not be browning. Slide the whole pile (they should be sticking together pretty well) onto a beautiful plate.
Drizzle generously with a balsamic glaze. I used something similar to this from my local grocery store.
Voila! You are done. Now chow down. It is pure HEAVEN.

Thanks, Lisa! Try it! You will never eat just plain ol' chips again. : )
I have such a weakness for blue cheese. I might have to treat myself this this one day!
Ooo this looks very intriguing..I really want to try this!
I love a good spin on any traditional dish and it looks like you blew the old nacho routine out of the water!!
This is PERFECT for my new weekly linky party - Foodie Friday! If you got a sec, please link up!
Found you on Blue Cricket Design!
That sounds like such a great combo! Yum!
I would never dare make these--I would eat the entire batch! What a combo of great flavors. I just posted a spring gorgonzola pasta dish on my blog. So good! Love your blog.
I am really curious to try this! It's funny...I thought that glaze was chocolate at first, ha! Looks awesome, and I bet my husband is going to love it.
This sounds absolutely fabulous right now! Yum!
Loved this. Thanks!
