Method:

1. Drain artichoke hearts, reserving marinade. Brush bread shells with some of the reserved marinade (discard any remaining marinade). Sprinkle half of the fontina cheese over bread shells.

2. In a large bowl toss together artichoke hearts, Canadian-style bacon, tomatoes, feta cheese, green onions, and oregano; divide among shells. Sprinkle with remaining fontina cheese.

3. Transfer bread shells to a pizza grill pan or a large double-thick piece of heavy foil. On a grill that has a cover, place the pan or foil on the rack of the grill directly over medium heat.

4. Cover and grill for 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and pizza is heated through.
