How To Make The Crostini

Melt 1 stick of butter. Slice a French baguette into 1/4 inch slices and brush both sides of each slice with the melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, turning as needed.

The Topping

In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, a 14 ounce can of artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), a 4.5 ounce can of diced green chilis (drained), 2 cloves finely chopped garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped cornichon, and the zest of 1 lemon (save a small amount of lemon zest for garnish).

Artzy Foodie Pro Tip:  1/2 tsp garlic salt can be substituted for the raw garlic.
