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!
