What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Joy of Eating: Vegetarian Bruschetta! There’s something about sharing an appetizer for dinner. It feels sinful and tastes shamefully delicious. The rustic combination of artisan bread, savory veggies, and warm cheese conjure up images of the Italian landscape. Transcend yourself to a country villa in the hills of Tuscany. Lend a little romance to dinner with finger food that melts in your mouth with a slightly salty finish.
VEGETARIAN BRUSCHETTA
Ingredients:
1 baguette, sliced horizontal
1/2 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
12-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup mozzarella cheese
2 green onions, snipped
1 tablespoon pimento, chopped
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400ยฐ. Slice baguette horizontally and place open face on baking sheet. Spread olive oil on top of baguette. Sprinkle with garlic powder, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Drain artichoke hearts, reserving liquid. Cut artichokes into bite size pieces and add back into the liquid. Add mushrooms to liquid. Mix well to coat. Divide artichoke/mushroom mixture between the baguette halves. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crunchy. Cut into diagonal slices. Garnish with green onion and pimento.
Yummy. Best thing next to pizza.

I heart artichoke hearts.
And I really heart vegetarian options like this, that give you all the flavor with less of that guilty feeling afterwards.
Tasty start to the week Gail!
