6 (1/3-inch-thick) slices of round country loaf
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 (6 ½-oz.) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1 (2 oz.) piece prosciutto or ham
1 small red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 oz. brie

Set Oster® Toaster Oven to broil and pre-heat. Arrange bread in one layer on a baking pan, then brush tops with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil until golden brown and transfer to a rack. Spread thin layer of Brie on toasted bread. Cut artichokes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and cut prosciutto into matchsticks. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inchheavy bottom skillet on moderately high heat. Add the onions and garlic. Stir frequently until they become transparent. Add the artichokes and prosciutto, cook the artichokes until golden (about 4 minutes) then add the balsamic vinegar. Add the basil and mint, salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture over the toast. Top with Parmesan and serve immediately.
