Steps

1 hour 40 minutes

1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the artichokes.

Once the water is boiling, add the artichoke hearts and cook for about 15 minutes.
3

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
4

Drain the artichoke hearts and set them aside in a bowl.
5

In a skillet, heat olive oil and finely chopped onion. Sauté until softened, then add the artichoke hearts. Season with salt, black pepper, and finely chopped parsley. Cook for about 10 minutes.
6

Cut the smoked scamorza cheese into cubes and set aside in a bowl.
7

In a small pan, toast the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt, black pepper, finely chopped parsley, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
8

Lightly oil a baking dish and use a silicone brush to spread the oil evenly over the surface.
9

Arrange a layer of artichoke hearts in the dish, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, add the cubed smoked scamorza, and cover with another layer of artichokes.
10

Repeat the process to make another layer.

Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs over the top, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, and bake for about 20 minutes.
