Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces artichoke bottoms (canned or fresh prepared)
- 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 60 grams cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using canned artichoke bottoms, drain them thoroughly. If using fresh artichokes, trim and boil the bottoms until tender, then cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Brush a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the artichoke bottoms in the dish, ensuring they are sitting upright.
Fill each artichoke bottom with the feta filling, mounding it slightly above the surface.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the stuffed artichokes for a crispy topping.
Drizzle olive oil lightly over the breadcrumbs to help them brown during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the filling is warmed through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish and enjoy!
