Artichoke Asiago Squares

Not altogether thrifty but one of the most appreciated appetizers you could ever serve.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups jarred marinated artichokes, drained

• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano (optional)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1/2 lb. grated Asiago cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper so that the paper hangs over the sides.

In a food processor, pulse artichokes, spinach, onion, garlic, lemon juice, and oregano, if using, until finely chopped but not purified. Pulse in eggs, then pulse in breadcrumbs and Asiago.

Scrape mixture into prepared pan, spread to level and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until set. Cool to room temperature before slicing into squares and store refrigerated.

Squares can be served at room temperature or warmed in the oven at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes.
