Last night I went to an Oscars viewing party and needed to bring a appetizer, one that appeals masses – kids and adults alike. I turned to Mom’s no-fail Artichoke Squares because they’re tasty and filling and easy to make.
My kids prepared the entire dish- -from the chopping to the mixing to the baking. And, the finished product is quite flavorful, almost like an artichoke egg quiche.
We added an additional 10 minutes to Mom’s cook time and decided that next time around we would definitely sprinkle breadcrumbs over top the mixture before baking. Otherwise, this recipe is flawless. The Artichoke Squares are a perfect addition to any breakfast, brunch or as an appetizer.
You Pick!
Enjoy.
