Step-by-Step Directions
- Prepare the Topping:
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Blend in the mayonnaise and chopped artichoke hearts. Add Parmesan, mozzarella, and garlic salt, then mix at high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. - Broil the Bruschetta:
Preheat your broiler to high. Spread a generous amount of the artichoke mixture on each baguette slice, ensuring it reaches the edges to prevent burning. Arrange the prepared bruschetta on a baking sheet. - Cook and Serve:
Broil the bruschetta for 2–3 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
