Bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy consisting of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. But there are so many other versions of this...and one such version is this yummy mouthwatering Creamy Artichoke and Cherry Tomato Bruschetta the recipe of which I will be sharing here.

Let me introduce you to the little artichoke hearts that are present in a thistle species flower bud. These hearts are edible and usually marinated. These marinated artichoke hearts are loaded with nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. These healthy hearts are used in a wide variety of dishes and today we are using them as the topping for our bruschetta.
This recipe mainly calls for Baguette, Parmesan cheese, Mayonnaise (Vegannaise),  artichoke hearts that are easily available in the stores.
