Recipe Introduction


This garlicky, cheesy spread is prebaked before the party. Have plenty of toasted baguette slices on hand -- guests will be tempted to double dip!



List of Ingredients




2 14-oz. cans artichoke hearts, packed in water, drained and chopped
1 cup bottled roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese (6 oz.)
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 to 2 baguettes sliced into 1/2-inch slices, brushed with olive oil and toasted


Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In mixing bowl combine artichoke hearts, roasted red pepper, Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, oil, garlic, and black pepper. Transfer mixture to a 1-1/2-quart casserole. Bake, uncovered, about 25 minutes or until heated through. Top with shaved cheese. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices.



Makes eight 1/2 cup servings (about 4 cups).
