Tomato-Basil Garlic Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Drain, but do not rinse, the artichoke hearts (I use Polar brand). Roughly chop them into quarters.
2. 2
   In a small mixing bowl, combine the artichokes, basil, and all seasonings. Set aside.
3. 3
   Open the garlic bread and bake it on a sheet pan, (usually at 375-400 degrees F. in a pre-heated oven), until it is warm through but not browned. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
4. 4
   Remove the garlic bread from the oven and spread on the artichoke/tomato/basil blend evenly on all parts of the bread. Then, sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
5. 5
   Return the bread to the oven and allow it to continue to bake until the cheese melts and browns just slightly, (about 5-8 minutes).
6. 6
   Remove the bread from the oven, cut into pieces, and serve hot.
