This is a recipe my mom gave me several years ago, entitled "Glorious Garlic Bread." I haven't made it in about a year, but the ingredients are identical. It is so, SO good! You will not regret making this!! I actually lost the recipe and was hoping I could find it as I want to make it tonight. Thanks for posting it!! I'm adding it to my cookbook so I won't lose it again. :)

The artichoke mixture was divine, but OMG definitely not diet friendly (even so, I managed to get past the guilt and have two slices). Based on the feedback from DH, there was too much filling for his taste. I would make some changes next time. After cutting the baguette in half, leave on side untouched and completely tear up the other half. Halve the artichoke/cheese/etc ingredients and spread that on the other baguette half -- even at that, the entire mixture might not be needed since it's being used as spread and not really a filling. Then use whatever filling is left as a dip or as a topping for baked potatoes. Thanks for posting such a good recipe, I really liked the artichokes in this and might double them next time.
