For a simple lunch, two people could share this yummy vegetable dish, along with few slices of lean ham and some breadsticks. This dish also makes a tasty side dish for an egg-based brunch or a hearty pasta supper. It features a simple mixture of artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, dried thyme, and Swiss cheese. Using the broiler makes quick work of this recipe, but be sure to keep an eye on it as it broils. The crumbled wheat bread and grated Parmesan as the topping really puts this gratin over the top flavor-wise. Feel free to use asparagus or even mushrooms instead of the artichokes to mix things up a bit.
