Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Remove crusts from bread; cut each slice into four squares for a total of 20 squares. Arrange squares on Small Sheet Pan.

In medium bowl, combine artichokes, two-thirds of the cheese, mayonnaise and garlic; mix well. Place about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the artichoke mixture onto each square; sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges of bread just begin to brown. Place sheet pan 4 in. (10 cm) from heating element. Broil 2-4 minutes or until bread and cheese are golden brown. Remove pan from broiler; top with olives and parsley, if desired.
