Artichoke-Tomato Bruschetta
"The mozzarella cheese is only optional, I like to sprinkle a small amount on the top after broiling, adjust the garlic amount to suit taste, use *only* Roma (plum) tomatoes for this or the mixture will be too watery."

Great little appetizer, the filling is delicious on it's own but on top of the bruschetta, it's perfection. -
I enjoyed this for a late supper last night! I halved the recipe. Thanks Kitz! Made for your cookathon. Get well! -
This was quite good! I wasn't sure I'd like the mayo at all (didn't really fit my idea of a bruschetta) but it was really very good! I only added 1 tablespoon low-fat mayo, and couldn't find marinated artichoke hearts at the store so I used a can of plain artichokes that I sprinkled with marjoram, thyme and fresh basil. In the end I did sprinkle on a little balsamic vinegar when I served this though, as I couldn't imagine eating bruschetta without vinegar:) Otherwise I added 3 roma tomatoes and spread this on two large rolls, sort of open-faced-sandwich style. It turned out great! BF and I ate it for supper. This was so easy and good I'll make this again (but probably without the mayo and with vinegar):D Thanks Kitten! -
This was fantastic!! I also couldn't find unmarinated artichokes, so I added 1/4 tsp each...thyme, marjoram and basil. -
This was amazing! Loved it and will be making it again.
