1 baguette, sliced into roughly 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend
1 cup chopped cured meats, such as salami, soppressata, capicola and pepperoni
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup pearl-sized mozzarella balls or chopped fresh mozzarella
1 1/2 cups diced Roma tomatoes

LISA'S ITALIAN NACHOS



Lisa's Italian Nachos image

Very easy to make and very tasty! I tried these at an Italian festival; they were very good, but they needed a little something more to them. So I added more ingredients, which makes them even better! You can substitute mozzarella or provolone cheese for the feta, or use a combination of the three.
