Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Artichoke Spread
- In a large bowl, combine the drained artichoke hearts, finely chopped green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, and creamy mayonnaise. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Step 2: Chill the Mixture
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the artichoke mixture for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more flavorful spread.
Step 3: Preheat the Broiler
- While the artichoke mixture is chilling, preheat your broiler to high. This will ensure that your toasts cook quickly and evenly once they’re assembled.
Step 4: Assemble the Toasts
- Take the rye bread slices and arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the chilled artichoke mixture evenly onto each slice of bread.
Step 5: Broil the Toasts
- Place the baking sheet with the assembled toasts under the broiler. Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the artichoke spread is bubbling and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Step 6: Serve Warm
- Once the toasts are golden and bubbly, remove them from the broiler and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve the Artichoke Toasts warm, and watch as they disappear within moments!
