Artichokes Au Gratin

• Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
• 4 tablespoons plain or seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1 12 -ounce jar marinated artichoke bottoms, drained and patted dry
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 pound soft sheep's milk cheese or brie, rind removed, sliced
• 1 cup mixed salad greens
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brush a 9-inch square baking dish with olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs.
3. Place the artichokes cup-side up on the breadcrumbs and brush or drizzle with olive oil.
4. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs and the parmesan.
5. Bake for 15 minutes; remove from the oven and preheat the broiler.
6. Divide the sheep's milk cheese among the artichokes; sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs.
7. Broil until the cheese starts to bubble and the topping browns, 3 to 4 minutes.
8. Toss the salad greens with the balsamic vinaigrette in a bowl; serve the artichokes on top of the greens.
