“It’s a perfect dish to start your meal.”

INGREDIENTS

1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 medium tomato, seeds removed and diced
1/2 cup grated romano cheese or parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed
5 tbsp. low fat mayonnaise (we used Hellman’s)
1 French baguette, cut into 1/3 inch thick slices

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the broiler. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast lightly under the broiler.
• Mix marinated artichoke hearts, Romano or Parmesan cheese, red onion, crushed garlic, diced tomato and mayonnaise in a medium bowl.
• Top the lightly toasted French baguette slices with equal amounts of the artichoke heart mixture being careful to spread the mixture over the entire surface (if not covered by the mixture, the edges of the bread will tend to burn.
• Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven for 2 minutes, or until toppings are bubbly and lightly browned.
