Ingredients

4 artichokes, cooked, drained, chokes removed
6 ounces fresh soft goat cheese
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees. Arrange the artichokes standing up in a shallow baking dish.
Mix the goat cheese with the garlic, chives, parsley and with salt and pepper to taste. Then spoon the goat cheese-garlic-herb mixture into the center of each artichoke. Afterward, sprinkle the filling with the bread crumbs.
Mix the lemon juice with the olive oil and brush over and inside the artichokes. Put in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or just until the artichokes and the filling have been heated through. Serve at once.
