  • Total 45 min
  • Servings 20

Ingredients

  • 40 slices (1/2 inch thick) baguette French bread
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 jar (6 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 2 cups chopped, seeded plum (Roma) tomatoes (6 to 7 medium)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place bread slices on cookie sheet; lightly spray bread with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Bake 6 to 9 minutes or until crisp. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, coarsely chop artichokes. In medium bowl, mix artichokes and remaining ingredients.
  • 4
    Serve artichoke mixture with toasted bread slices.

  • Variety is the spice of life. This crostini, in each of its variations, is delicious any way you top it.
  • Replace the artichoke hearts with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese.
  • Replace the artichoke hearts with 1/2 cup coarsely chopped kalamata olives.
  • We chose Italian plum tomatoes, also known as Roma tomatoes, because they are not as juicy and have less seeds than regular tomatoes.
