Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5–6 minutes until lightly golden.
In a medium bowl, mix together chopped artichoke hearts, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, parsley, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the artichoke mixture evenly onto each toasted bread slice.
Return to the oven and bake for 5–7 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with extra parsley, chopped tomato, or a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

You can use fresh artichokes if you prefer, but marinated ones add great flavor and save time.
These are best served warm, but leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven.
Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
