Artichokes For The Cheesy Lover

Tweet

Where are my stinky cheese lovers? This recipe is for stuffed artichokes for the cheesy lover. I used a Gorgonzola cheese in this recipe, but you can substitute for a milder cheese, if you prefer. I adore Gorgonzola, so I think it makes a perfect pair with the fresh herbs. The Gorgonzola melts inside this artichoke, no need for a dip, it’s right inside!
