Tips:
- To make the crostini, you can use any type of bread you like. However, a sturdy bread like a baguette or ciabatta will hold up best to the toppings.
- Be sure to slice the bread into thin slices so that they will be crispy when toasted.
- You can brush the bread slices with olive oil before toasting to make them even more crispy.
- For the tomato-artichoke topping, you can use fresh or canned tomatoes. If using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before using.
- You can also use any type of artichoke hearts you like. Canned, jarred, or fresh artichoke hearts will all work well.
- Be sure to season the tomato-artichoke topping with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- You can also add other herbs or spices to the topping, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
- Top the crostini with the tomato-artichoke topping and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the crostini until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the crostini hot or at room temperature.
