Notes
Make ahead: I recommend topping the bread slices right before serving (or maximum 30 minutes before) to prevent them from going soggy too quick. Alternatively, you can serve bruschetta and topping separately then allow your guests to assemble them instead. You can also make the artichoke mixture ahead, and keep it refrigerated in airtight container for 1 or 2 days.
