“Artichoke hearts are topped with breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and broiled, for a simple and satisfying appetizer.”

Ingredients

• 6 canned artichoke hearts, drained and halved
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Place artichoke heart halves on a paper towel cut-side down to drain for about 15 minutes.

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with vegetable oil.

Place artichoke heart halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and drizzle with olive oil.

Broil artichoke hearts until browned on top, about 7 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
