In continuing with the heart theme for Valentine’s Day, while yesterday dealt with heart-shaped waffles, today will focus on artichoke hearts.
Most people only know of artichokes as part of the spinach and artichoke dip. Due to the ingredients (read: lots and lots of cheese) the spinach and artichoke only play a small part in that dish.
This is a much healthier dish that still allows you to enjoy the three main ingredients of any artichoke dip: spinach, artichokes and cheese.
Ingredients:
- Artichoke hearts (I recommend 1-2 jars of marinated artichoke hearts)
- 2/3 cup cooked chopped spinach
- 1 tsp. lemon pepper
- 1 clove minced garlic
- ¼ tsp. Kosher salt
- 18 thin slices brie or gorganzola cheese
- freshly ground pepper (to taste)
Directions:
- Preheat broiler.
- Combine spinach, lemon pepper, garlic and salt in a small bowl. Top each artichoke heart with the spinach mixture and cheese. Broil until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
