Artichoke Bruschetta March 15, 2007

Filed under: Appetizers, Artichoke, Baguette, Vegetarian — aframeglamour @ 4:44 pm

Ingredients
2-14 oz. Cans Artichoke Hearts (Drained and Chopped)
2-Plum Tomatoes (Diced)
1/4 C.-Red Onion (Chopped)
1/2 C.-Pecorino Romano (Grated)
1/4 C.-Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper
Sliced Baguette

Method
1. Combine all ingredients and spread on baguette slices. Broil 2-3 minutes until browned.

I made this for our Tapas and Sangria shower. It was nice because you can make the mixture the night before, then refrigerate it and broil right before your guests arrive. Bryan hates tomatoes and therefore I can never make bruschetta at home, so this recipe is great. He really loved it.
