    Meet your new favorite hot appetizer!

    Goat Cheese-Stuffed Artichoke Bottoms are elegant and perfect for a spring or summer special occasion, can be made days in advance and are ridiculously easy.

    Fresh versus canned artichoke bottoms:

    I’m a bit of an artichoke snob, however……

    I prefer fresh artichokes whenever possible.  Frozen can work in a pinch and if a number of other flavors are happening and the artichokes are only part of a dish, I’ll use canned.

    To make this appetizer using fresh artichoke bottoms would be unspeakably labor-intensive and expensive.  You would end up with either a lot of waste or a lot of artichoke leaves to dip and enjoy.

    Therefore, canned artichoke heart bottoms are the way to go.  There are generally four to six bottoms per can.  They can be a little difficult to find in the grocery store, but you can get them online here.  (Affiliate links…. Thank you for supporting From A Chef’s Kitchen!)

    How to make Goat Cheese Stuffed Artichoke Bottoms:

    • Drain the artichoke bottoms and pat dry.
    • You may need to slice some off from the bottom so they sit level and any remnant of tough outer leaves are removed.
    • The filling consists of tangy goat cheese, nutty Parmesan cheese, fresh chives, fresh parsley, garlic, salt and black pepper.  Allow the goat cheese to come to room temperature so that it’s easier to work with.
    • Combine the filling and then spoon into the artichoke bottoms, sprinkle with a bit more Parmesan cheese, bake and serve.

    Afterward, just sit back and enjoy the accolades!

    Artichokes are generally difficult to pair with wine.  However, because of the goat cheese, these are perfect with a glass of chilled white wine or champagne.

    Presentation Ideas for Goat Cheese Stuffed Artichoke Bottoms:

    • Edible flowers always add a special touch.

    • For something a bit more modern, tie up some chives with a chive and use to accent the platter.  Finely chop fresh chives and sprinkle over the top.

      When making these ahead, do you bake them first, or do you assemble them and bake them when you’re ready to serve them? They look amazing!

      Really delicious. I only ended up using probably about 8 oz so next time that’s all I’ll use. I’ll save the rest of the cheese mixture for adding to scrambled eggs. I think I will cut down to 2 cloves of garlic too. Will definitely make these for more small gatherings in the future.
