Ingredients

4 artichokes
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup white wine
juice of 2 lemon
1 baguette, sliced on a bias into 1/4-inch-thick pieces and toasted
8 ounce burrata

Directions

Trim the stems and tough outer leaves from the artichokes. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil the artichokes for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the artichokes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then remove the tender leaves (reserve for snacking), remove the chokes and discard, and cut each artichoke heart into quarters.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the artichoke hearts for 1 minute. Add the wine and juice of 1 lemon, and cook until the wine evaporates. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and season with salt, to taste.
Top the baguette slices with the artichoke hearts. Then, pull apart the burrata and place the burrata pieces (both the cream and the casing, mix it up) on toasties. Grind some pepper over the appetizer and devour.
