Artichoke Bites From Anne Jewell
These small squares taste like crustless artichoke quiche. They are good
served warm or cold.
2 jars (each 6oz/ 170 ml) marinated artichoke hearts
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large clove of garlic minced
4 eggs, well beaten
¼ cup fine dry bread crumbs or 50 ml
½ tsp salt or 2 ml
¼ tsp dried oregano
Tabasco sauce
Freshly ground pepper
2 cups grated old cheddar cheese (500 ml)
Measure ¼ cup of marinade from jar of artichokes and pour in to medium
skillet. Discard remaining marinade from jars and chop artichoke in to ½
inch pieces. Heat marinade in skillet and cook onion and garlic until soft
about 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, beat eggs; stir onion / garlic mixture, bread crumbs,
salt, oregano, a few drops of Tabasco, and pepper to taste. Add cheese, then
artichokes.
Spoon in to a buttered 8 inch or (2 ll) square baking dish.
Bake in 325 degree F (160 degrees C) oven for about 30 - 35 minutes or until
set.
Let cool for few minutes, then cut in to squares and serve. (Can be prepared
a day or two in advance and reheated. If baked in a metal pan, removed from
pan as soon as cool, and store, wrapped in plastic, in refrigerator.). Makes
about 24 squares.
