Artichoke Bruschetta

I love this appetizer.  My husband and kids love it too.  Easy to set out when entertaining. The recipe starts with simple ingredients. 1 cup of marinted artichoke hearts drained. 1tbsp capers 4 oz manchego cheese 1 clove garlic 12 pieces of crostini or toasted slices of baguette bread You have two choices with preparation.  You can had chop or use a food processor.  I used my magic bullet.  It makes for quick clean up.   First finely mince the garlic.  I like it first so that it gives a more even flavor. Add  in the artichoke hearts these can be roughly chopped.  Last add in the capers.  I like them less chopped so that you get little hits of their salty bite.   Once you have your topping mixed spread out on your crostini.  Use a vegetable peeler to make thin slices of cheese.  Put pieces of cheese on top of each piece of bruschetta.  You should have extra cheese.  ...
