Ingredients
- 8 pieces artichoke bottoms (canned or fresh prepared)
- 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 60 grams cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
If using canned artichoke bottoms, drain them thoroughly. If using fresh artichokes, trim and boil the bottoms until tender, then cool completely.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Brush a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the artichoke bottoms in the dish, ensuring they are sitting upright.
Step 5
Fill each artichoke bottom with the feta filling, mounding it slightly above the surface.
Step 6
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the stuffed artichokes for a crispy topping.
Step 7
Drizzle olive oil lightly over the breadcrumbs to help them brown during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the filling is warmed through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish and enjoy!
