Created by The MDM Team, Monday, October 22, 2007
Try these square artichoke quiches. You definitely won't have to choke them down. In fact, whether you serve them hot or cold, there won't be any left.
Ingredients
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. vegetable oil
2 (6.5 oz.) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
4 eggs
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. dried oregano
1/8 tsp. hot pepper sauce
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup crushed saltines
Methods/steps
In a small skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in artichokes. Remove from the heat; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, oregano and hot pepper sauce. Stir in the cheese, cracker crumbs and artichoke mixture.
Pour into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into 1-in. squares. Serve warm.
