Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts (or 2 6-oz. jars) - (reserve liquid)
• 3 green onions, diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 eggs
• 8 flaky crackers, such as Ritz, saltine or soda crackers, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese (or 8 oz.)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 325° F.

Pour 1/4 cup of artichoke marinade into a skillet and set aside.

Chop artichoke hearts into roughly 1/2-inch-sized pieces and set aside. Heat marinade in skillet and add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are tender (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs until thoroughly beaten. Add crumbled crackers, salt and pepper, cheese, parsley, artichokes and onion and stir to combine. (Tip: To crumble crackers, place in a plastic bag and squeeze until they have all crumbled into small pieces.) Pour mixture into a buttered (you may also use nonstick cooking spray) 8x8-inch baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until set and very slightly browned on top. Allow to cool in pan, then cut into 16 bite-size squares.
