Easy Artichoke Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the artichokes, spinach, chopped garlic and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and saute until the spinach begins to wilt and the garlic becomes fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a food processor. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, feta, parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and pulse until smooth. Add the kosher salt and season to taste with pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine the sea salt flakes and lime zest with your fingers. Set aside.
• Rub the remaining whole garlic clove onto one side of each slice of bread. Divide the artichoke mixture equally among the slices, place on a platter and serve; or, spoon into a serving bowl and serve with the bread slices on the side. Garnish with the radishes and lime salt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the baguette slices on the lined baking sheet. Bake until starting to crisp but not totally toasted, about 5 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the cheeses, parsley, lemon zest and anchovy paste. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the center of each baguette slice, being sure to leave a border of clean bread surrounding the cheese (it will spread as it melts in the oven). Place an artichoke heart in the center of each and set back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of grated Parmesan over each artichoke heart.
• Bake until the Parmesan is melted, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Artichoke Purée: Lightly toast pine nuts in a dry saute pan over medium-low heat until golden. If using jarred baby artichoke hearts, strain and rinse well. Using a food processor, pulse all ingredients except parsley and thyme to a coarse puree, stirring as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and fold in fresh herbs. Set aside.
• Sautéed Wild Mushrooms: Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the minced shallot, tossing until translucent, slightly golden, and beginning to stick. Add the mushrooms, and a splash of the vegetable stock to deglaze. Add another splash of vegetable stock when the first stock addition reduces and the mushrooms begin to stick, being careful not to let it burn. Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the mushrooms have released their liquid and the pan is almost dry, about 4 minutes.Meanwhile, slice the baguette on the bias into slices. Lightly grease a hot griddle pan and grill lightly on both sides.
• To assemble, lay out crostini and on each place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the artichoke puree. Top with sauteed mushrooms and finish with fresh horseradish root, shaved fine using a microplane zester, and drizzle with truffle oil if desired.

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray
• Lay the prosciutto in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• On another baking sheet, arrange the bread slices in a single layer. Using a pastry brush, brush the bread with 1/4 cup of the oil. Bake until golden, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• In a food processor, combine the artichoke hearts, beans, cheese, basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is chunky. With the machine running, slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil. Spoon the artichoke mixture onto the crostini. Crumble the prosciutto and sprinkle on top. Drizzle with oil and serve.

Steps:

• Drain the tin of artichoke hearts and put them in a food processor with a good squeeze of lemon, the crushed garlic clove, 1 tbsp of the extra virgin olive oil, the Parmesan, a good pinch of salt and plenty of black pepper. Pulse to a chunky purée, scraping down the sides once or twice. Stir in a few snipped chives. This can be made a day ahead and chilled.
• Grill 12 slices of the baguette on each side until golden, rub lightly with the cut garlic clove and brush with the rest of the extra virgin olive oil. Spread generously with artichoke mix, scatter over Parmesan shavings and remaining chives, grind over pepper and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dill; season with salt and pepper. Top crostini with topping.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together artichoke hearts, green onions, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Place baguette slices on a baking sheet.
• Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until slightly browned.
• Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon artichoke mixture on each baguette slice and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
