Bruschetta Three Ways

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small loafs of French bread (or one big loaf)
  • 1/2 cup pesto homemade or store bought
  • 1 cup heirloom cherry tomatoes- cut in half
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves- chopped
  • 1 ball mozzarella- sliced and then cut into quarters
  • 1 jar artichoke hearts- drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese- grated
  • 1 package salami- cut in half and then into quarters
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • fresh oregano for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Slice your french loaf at a diagonal into 1 inch tick slices. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Place the slices under the broiler until slightly golden brown. Note: watch them closely because they can burn easily.
  • Mix artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese and mayo in a bowl. Add 1 tsp of salt and mix well. Set aside.
  • In a second bowl mix tomatoes, basil, 1-2 tsp of olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 1 tsp garlic salt. Mix well.
  • When toast is golden, remove from the oven and add the artichoke mixture to 1/3 of the pieces of bread. Place back into oven and let the mixture broil for a few minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Spread pesto on top of the remaining bread slices. Top 1/2 of the slices with salami pieces. Add mozzarella slice to the other half. Top the mozzarella toasts with tomato mixture.
  • When artichoke bruschetta is warm and bubbly, remove them from the oven. Place all of the bruschetta toasts on a serving plate and garnish with fresh oregano.
