Artichoke Bruschetta

Artichoke Bruschetta

Frozen artichoke hearts may be used in place of drained. You will need to thaw them slightly before sauteeing with the garlic; also, increase the cooking time by three to four minutes to ensure proper browning.

  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
    • 4 slices rustic bread, about 3/4 inch thick
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
    • One 12-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
    • 1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    • Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Directions

  1. Thinly slice 1 garlic clove, and set aside. Gently crush remaining clove, and rub over one side of each of the bread slices. Brush both sides of bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toast slices on a grill or in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden and crisp on both sides. Transfer to a serving platter, and set aside.
  2. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved garlic and artichoke hearts. Saute until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Season ricotta cheese with salt and pepper; spread about 2 tablespoons of mixture on each slice of bread. Top with sauteed garlic and artichokes. Season again with salt and pepper. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with olive oil.
