Best Grilled Artichoke And Spinach Pesto Crostini Recipes

Cheesy Artichoke Crostini image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 30m

Yield 16 crostini (8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 slices baguette
One 5.2-ounce container garlic and herb cheese, softened
One 4-ounce log goat cheese, softened
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
One 12-ounce jar marinated quartered artichoke hearts, drained
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan

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.

Grilled Garlic Artichokes image

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large artichokes
1 lemon, quartered
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge into the water. Trim the tops from the artichokes, then cut in half lengthwise, and place halves into the bowl of lemon water to prevent them from turning brown.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Add artichokes to boiling water, and cook for about 15 minutes. Drain. Squeeze the remaining lemon wedges into a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
Brush the artichokes with a coating of the garlic dip, and place them on the preheated grill. Grill the artichokes for 5 to 10 minutes, basting with dip and turning frequently, until the tips are a little charred. Serve immediately with the remaining dip.
