Artichoke Bruschetta

We had one of those big bottles of Costco artichoke hearts in the fridge and I was looking at allrecipes.com for recipes with artichokes in them.  I found and made this for lunch on Sunday.  I made it quite different than the original recipe which is HERE because I just didn't have the right ingredients on hand.

From the kitchen of:  Kim (nobody else would change an original recipe this much right out of the gate)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (6.5 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

• 1/2 cup grated cheese (It calls for Ramano but I put in fetta, colby, parmesian, whatever combo)

• 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion (I didn't have red, so I used standard yellow)

• 5 tablespoons mayonnaise

• Slices of Tuscan bread (or any bread with a little Rosemary on it if you don't have Tuscan bread)

• A few chopped olives

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the broiler.

2. In a medium bowl, mix marinated artichoke hearts, cheese, onion and mayonnaise.

3. Toast the bread in a toaster to make it a little crispy and warm. 

4. Top bread slices with the artichoke heart mixture.

5. Arrange slices on a baking sheet.

6. Broil until toppings are bubbly and lightly browned.  (about 2-3 min?)

7. Garnish with weeds like the picture if you care about presentation (I didn't/don't)

Marilyn gave it an 8 out of 10 after she had snarfed it. [Update: we just had it again and she upped it to 9 out of a 10]
