Originally from Friends of the Cos Cob Library these Artichoke Squares are about as cheesy as all of the Mad Men references I just removed. But seriously, they are good. I baked this batch in a glass dish, then I want on to bake more batches in mini sheet pans (⅛ sheet pans) since I mostly make these for the family and not for parties. However, they would be great for parties and can be made ahead.
Notes
I don't have a lot of notes on this recipe, but anything made with chopped marinated artichoke hearts, onion, garlic, eggs, cheese and breadcrumbs will be good. This recipe includes some other seasonings such as Tabasco and oregano, and then there's the seasoning on the breadcrumbs (because I used the "zesty" kind) that add more flavor.
One other nice thing about this recipe is that if you following a high fat, low carb diet you can very easily adapt this to be keto by using keto bread toasted and ground into crumbs.
Recipe
Artichoke Squares
Ingredients
- 2 6 oz jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- ⅔ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs I used "Zesty"
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon Tabasco or Tapatio sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups grated or shredded cheddar cheese Swiss would be great!
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Rub a 7x11 inch baking dish (I used a Pyrex casserole dish) with butter or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large non-stick skillet, combine onions, garlic and a little of the marinade from the artichokes -- you could use a couple of teaspoons of oil, but I found the artichokes had enough oil on them already. Saute onions, garlic and chopped artichokes for about 5 minutes or until onions are soft and slightly browned
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork. Stir in crumbs, salt, oregano, Tabasco (or Tapatio), salt and black pepper, then stir in the cheese, parsley, artichoke and onion garlic mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool, then chill for a few hours or until very cold.
- Before serving, cut into tiny squares (about 36) and arrange squares on a foil lined baking sheet. Heat at 400 degrees F. for about 5 minutes or until warm. Serve in mini cupcake liners.

I learned to like artichokes from this recipe but have not made them in years. Time to get out the baking pan. Thanks for the reminder.

These look great and sound yummy. Church choir end of season party along with a house warming party for our choir director is coming up in a month. I think I will take these! Thanks for the tip that these travel well also.

I enjoyed that episode of Madmen, too. I think all of them have been really good this season, though. I love the Peggy story lines.
