Tips:
- Selecting the Right Artichokes: Choose artichokes that are heavy for their size, with tightly closed leaves and no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Cleaning and Preparing Artichokes: To clean an artichoke, remove the tough outer leaves and trim the stem. Cut the artichoke in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center.
- Cooking Artichokes: Artichokes can be cooked in various ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. Boiling is the most common method, and it takes about 20-25 minutes for the artichokes to become tender.
- Preparing the Toast: To make the toast, use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the weight of the artichoke and cheese. Toasts can be grilled, pan-fried, or baked until golden brown and crispy.
- Assembling the Toasts: When assembling the toasts, spread a layer of creamy cheese, such as ricotta or goat cheese, on each toast. Top with the cooked artichoke hearts and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Broil the toasts for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
