Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain artichoke hearts and coarsely chop them.

- Place the muffin halves on a baking sheet and broil until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. You can also add minced garlic or chopped herbs like parsley for extra flavor. If you don't have English muffins, bagels or crusty bread work well too. Make sure to broil on high and keep an eye on them to avoid burning. This dish makes a great appetizer for gatherings or pairs beautifully with Sour Cream Cheesecake.
Serving Suggestions
These broiled artichoke rounds are perfect as a party appetizer or a snack. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some Mozzarella Garlic Bread for a delightful meal. You can also pair them with a dipping sauce, such as marinara or a zesty aioli, to elevate the flavors even further.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the muffin halves under the broiler for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh artichokes instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh artichokes, but they require more preparation. Steam or boil them until tender, then remove the hearts and chop them. Canned artichokes save time and are more convenient for quick recipes like this.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this dish gluten-free, substitute the English muffins with gluten-free bread or crackers. Just ensure that the mayonnaise and any other ingredients used are also gluten-free to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
Can I make the cheese mixture ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the artichoke and cheese mixture a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator and assemble the muffins just before broiling for the best texture and flavor.
