By garciamoss

Ingredients

• 8 1/2 "-thick slices ciabatta or another peasant-style bread
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, smashed
• 1/2 cup mascarpone
• 1 6 1/2oz. jar marinated artichoke hearts
• 2 tbsp. finely chopped chives
• 2 oz. parmesan, shaved thin with a peeler
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire in a grill or set gas grill to medium-high. Drizzle the bread with oil. Grill bread slices until both sides are golden brown with slightly charred crusts, 4–5 minutes.

2. While hot, rub bread with garlic. Slather 1 tbsp. of the marcarpone on top of each toasted slice. Top marscapone with artichoke hearts, chives, parmesan, and pepper. Drizzle with more oil, if you like.
