Equipment

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread cut into twelve ½-inch slices
12 ounces marinated artichokes well drained and chopped
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes well drained and chopped, divided
½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
½ cup sour cream
2 cloves garlic pressed or grated
¼ teaspoon salt
1 bunch fresh basil optional, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese and sour cream in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
Add ½ cup parmesan, ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, and all the mozzarella cheese, artichokes, garlic, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Use the hand mixer to blend until well incorporated. The mixture will be chunky due to the artichokes and tomatoes.
Use a medium scoop to measure 2-3 tablespoons onto each slice of bread. Spread it to the edges.
Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to char.
Remove from the oven and let rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley.

Notes

While using fresh artichokes is an option, it is certainly not ideal. They are tedious little critters, and once you get down to the ‘heart’ of it, there is not much flesh to be harvested from each one. For easier preparation and lots of flavor, use marinated artichoke hearts. Just be sure to drain them VERY well.

For the sun-dried tomatoes, either oil-packed or dry-packed will work fine and provide lots of flavor and texture. If using oil-packed, drain them very well.
