This was horrible. I feel like he recipe is missing something. I followed the recipe, but the gratin was disgusting.

I tried this recipe and had poor results. I followed the directions as you listed, but the artichokes came out tough and tasteless. Any ideas for me?

The baby artichokes here in Brazil must be realy tiny: I used 24 of them and 1 cup breadcrumbs was too much. But that's not a problem, the seasoned breadcrums tasted much better before baking! Txs evelyn for another great recipe.
