Artichoke Rounds

I've been to some great New Years Eve parties, for which I feel fortunate considering their tendency to be dismal affairs full of miserable, lonely party guests. One of these occasions involved my friend Ray and his delicious artichoke rounds, a gooey mixture of hot sharp cheese and savory artichokes on a crunchy bit of bread, the perfect compliment to all the champagne being passed around. 

Artichoke Rounds

1(14oz.) can artichoke hearts, well drained

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon onion salt

1 loaf soft bread (Wonder)

 

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Drain artichokes, break into bite size pieces. Cut bread into rounds using a cookie cutter to stamp them out. Mix mayonnaise and cheese. Spread a small amount of mayo and cheese mixture on rounds, top with artichoke and cover with mayo and cheese mixture. Bake 10 to 15 minutes,  cheese should be melted and the bread golden on the edges.
