Spinach Artichoke Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven broiler.
• Slice bread on a diagonal about 1/3" thick and place on a large cookie sheet.
• In a medium bowl, combine artichoke hearts, cheese, onion, spinach, tomato, and mayonnaise.
• Spread the artichoke mixture evenly on the baguette slices.
• Sprinkle on garlic, pepper, and salt if desired.
• Place in oven and broil for about 2 minutes, or until artichoke mixture is melted and lightly browned.

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:

• 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.
