Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Marinated artichoke hearts
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds, yielding approximately 18-20 slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the marinated artichoke hearts.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped artichoke hearts, and chopped fresh basil leaves.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomato-artichoke mixture along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything gently until well combined.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Optional: If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the baguette slices before adding the topping.
Spoon the tomato and artichoke mixture onto each toasted baguette slice right before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Garnish with additional fresh basil as desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Mama Mia Artichoke and Tomato Bruschetta!
