Baby Artichoke Crostini

This snack is perfect for springtime baby artichokes.

Ingredients

  • 12 baby artichokes, cleaned and cooked, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped or grated
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (whatever you like – basil, flat-leaf parsley, oregano)
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 12 thin slices French bread
  • 1 5-ounce block soft herb-garlic cheese, such as Boursin

Yields: 4 snack-size servings


Preparation

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

In a medium-size mixing bowl, toss together the artichokes, 2 tablespoons EVOO, garlic, herbs, some salt and pepper. Set aside.

Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with the remaining tablespoon of EVOO. Pop the bread into the oven and toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool.

Spread some soft cheese over each slice of bread, top with a spoonful of the marinated artichokes and serve.
