Breakfast nachos, the classic delight, contain layers of tortilla chips, a rich blanket of cheese, and the savory charm of scrambled or fried eggs. Infused with the sizzle of sautéed bell peppers and the hearty notes of sausage or bacon, this culinary masterpiece is baked to perfection.

A crown of fresh ingredients such as tomatoes and cilantro adds a burst of flavor. This dish is highly customizable, offering the option to use tater tots or waffle fries for a heartier foundation, and creating a symphony of delicious goodness in every delightful bite!

Dietitian Amber Dixon recommends a specific layering order to ensure the nachos maintain their crunchiness. She suggests arranging the base (tortilla chips, tater tots, or waffle fries) in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet. Then top it with proteins such as scrambled eggs or meat.

Next, add vegetables like roasted bell peppers or sautéed onions. Now, spoon sauces or beans over the veggies. Lastly, sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake until golden brown and voila! To add extra flavor profile, finish it with cold ingredients like yogurt, salsa, or guacamole.

To achieve that coveted stretchy cheese pull, incorporate two types of cheeses in your breakfast nachos. The combination of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack provides a perfect balance of sharpness and creaminess, enhancing the overall flavor and melt. And if you’re looking to add some unique flavors, here are some ideas!

BBQ nachos topped with brisket, pulled pork, or chicken and barbeque sauce are awesome. You can also try your hand at pizza nachos by using pizza sauce, pepperoni, or cooked sausage for a pizza-inspired twist. Perhaps you’re more of a chili cheese person, so try spooning chili over before baking. If you’re a spicy food fan, elevate the heat by topping your nachos with pickled jalapeños, spicy salsa, or a dash of hot sauce. And if you’re vegetarian or vegan, don’t worry! Opt for a lighter option by swapping scrambled eggs for a tofu scramble, infusing your nachos with protein.

In a heartwarming tradition that spans five decades, newspaper photographer Sam Farr has documented his friendship withbarber Joe Pace through a series of self-portraits taken every 10 years. The touching photos — taken at “Giuseppe’s of Bath” in England — capture the passage of time, the growth of their bond, and the changing technology. The series of selfie shots reflect a remarkable friendship and the joy of two friends growing older together.

The heartwarming tradition began in 1973 when Sam Farr purchased a new Rolleiflex camera for around $130. Curious to see what he looked like on the other side of the camera lens, he decided to take a self-portrait while getting his hair trimmed by his barber and friend, Joe Pace. Little did he know that this candid selfie would mark the inception of a touching tradition, which would endure for the next five decades.

Over the years, the series of selfies showcased the deepening friendship between Sam and Joe. In each photo, their smiles grow wider, reflecting the joy of their connection.

The camera models evolve as technology advances, from vintage cameras to the modern convenience of an iPhone — but their bond remains the same.

The milestone of 50 years marked a special celebration of their friendship, with Joe giving Sam a free haircut. The tradition has become a cherished part of Sam’s family with his daughter, Nicky, expressing her appreciation for the lasting bond between her father and Joe. The photographs have garnered attention on social media, evoking heartwarming comments. According to Nicky, as Sam’s battle with Parkinson’s makes it increasingly difficult for him to hold a camera, the latest photo may be the final one in the series. Nevertheless, the cherished tradition of friendship captured through the years stands as a testament to the power of lasting connections.
