Mortadella Artichoke Heart And Olive Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make crostini: Brush baguette slices on both sides with a total of 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, and bake, turning over once, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool.
• Meanwhile, make topping: Finely chop artichokes, and combine in a bowl with Parmesan, parsley, and remaining tablespoon oil.
• Dividing evenly, spoon topping onto crostini, and garnish with additional Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Arrange bread slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet and brush tops with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil (total). Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden on top, about 30 seconds. Turn toasts over and broil until golden, about 30 seconds more. Transfer toasts to a rack to cool.
• Pulse artichokes with cream in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir together olives, onion, and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Spread toasts evenly with artichoke cream and top with olive mixture. Drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler, with a rack 6 inches from heating element. In a bowl, stir together ricotta, Parmigiano, and oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Divide evenly among bread slices, spreading almost to edges but leaving a 1/4-inch border.
• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until cheese mixture is bubbly and browned in places, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 1 minute.
• Top cheese toasts evenly with mortadella, artichoke hearts, arugula, and shaved Parmigiano. Lightly drizzle with oil, season with pepper, and serve immediately.
