Ingredients
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 🧅
- 1/3 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise 🍽️
- 1 French baguette, sliced into 16-18 pieces 🥖
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, well-drained and chopped 🌿
Instructions
-
Prepare the Artichokes: Begin by chopping the artichoke hearts into small, bite-sized pieces. This will ensure that they are well distributed throughout your spread, adding flavor to every bite.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichokes with the finely chopped onion and the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together evenly.
-
Make the Spreadable Mixture: Add just enough mayonnaise to the mixture to achieve a spreadable consistency. The mayonnaise not only binds the ingredients together but also adds a creamy texture to the topping.
-
Season to Taste: Sprinkle in the garlic powder and mix thoroughly. This will give your bruschetta the perfect hint of garlic flavor that complements the artichokes beautifully.
-
Prepare the Baguette Slices: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of the artichoke mixture over each slice, ensuring that they are evenly coated.
-
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on them; you’re looking for the topping to start bubbling and turning golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the bruschetta cool for a few minutes before serving. These delightful appetizers are best enjoyed warm, with the crispy baguette contrasting beautifully with the creamy artichoke topping.
