Artichoke Heart Toasts

This has been one of our favorite specialty lunches for years! Marinated artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, feta, and grated cheddar or Parmesan, all toasted on open-faced baguettes. Delicious! We serve it to almost every group of visitors to our Idaho cabin and everyone loves it! It’s also a great vegetarian option for non-meat eaters.

We first discovered it at Gabe’s Deli in the Nugget Hotel in Reno, Nevada, on one of our lunch breaks during our kids’ AAU basketball tournament. We have no idea how they made theirs, but we just use marinated artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, feta, goat cheese, and fresh tomatoes. We always made them as grilled sandwiches or quesadillas, but they are just as good, and prettier, on open-faced sliced baguettes or your favorite country bread.  

We realize there are some folks in this culinary world who dislike feta and goat cheese, so you can simply substitute cream cheese and blue cheese if you are happier with those choices! Either way, you will be serving these forever once you start!
