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.

Do you happen to have the nutritional information ?
Hi, Lynda, Thanks so much for your question and your wonderful feedback. The appetizer is pretty cheesy and a nice party indulgence. The upside is that it’s perfect for low-carb diets. I’ve gone back and forth with myself about providing nutritional information and because everyone prepares a dish a little bit differently, uses different products, etc., the information can vary greatly so anything I would provide would be a ballpark estimate anyway. Have a great day and please stay in touch.
These looks so scrumptious! I could devour a platter of them right now!
I love artichokes and was looking for a make ahead appetizer to bring to a party, now I know what I will be bringing!
These look so amazingly good Carol. Plus I love that you can make them ahead of time.
Hi, Erin, Thanks so much! They’re also super-easy and they pair well with a good, crisp white wine. It’s not always easy to pair artichokes with wine, but with the goat cheese, it works!
These look great, awesome idea for an appetizer 🙂
Keep it up Carol!

Meghan, you’re too funny! Thanks so much…..these have been a huge hit every time I’ve made them so hope you enjoy!
Did you place these on a baking sheet or do you think a muffin tray would work? They look sooo yummy!
Hi, Milena, I just put them on a baking sheet, but a muffin pan is a great idea! Thanks for your question.
I love goat cheese and these look great! I recently started making my own goat cheese almost every weekend when I noticed Wegmans carried goat milk. It’s so easy to make and about 1/2 the cost. Pinned!
Thanks, Analida! I’ve never tried to make my own goat cheese but have always wanted to. May need to do that!
