Being a Professional caterer for over 25 years this recipe is actually a staple on my Hors d'oeuvre list for at least the last 15. Customers love these. I did however change a few things. I found that processing ingredients was definitely not a good idea- end result is too pasty. I coarse chopped the artichokes and onions added more hot sauce and some Italian dressing without the oil. I just use seasoned bread crumbs eliminating the need for Italian seasoning. Bake in mini muffin pans 350 10 min.
My wife made these yesterday and had the following suggestions - double or even triple the artichoke as the flavor got lost in all the cheese - too many eggs - not enough breadcrumbs - she also plans to bake these in a shallow pan so she can cut them into small squares - I thought they tasted like cheesy scrambled eggs myself
As written I couldn't understand why this recipe would be called artichoke bites using only one jar of artichokes. There seemed to more egg in this then anything else so I cut the eggs down to four and used four jars of the artichokes. It turned out delicious!
The changes I made to this recipe made a fantastic app. I sauteed the onion and garlic in butter only used 4 eggs and added 3/4 cup mayo. I did not use blender I hand mixed it. This gave them great texture. My second batch I added 2 T. pesto. This was also fantastic.
Made this twice both times bring it to work to share. The first time I followed the recipe as stated the 2nd time I added about a 2tsp or more of Hot sauce and worcestershire. Also upped the Italian seasonings to 2 tsps. Cut back on the onions and left the Artichoke pices much bigger. Hands down the second go around won their hearts and stomachs!! GP
This is a great appetizer for a party. I made these a few days in advance and froze them. I heated them for 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Everyone loved them - even guys who don't usually like artichokes! I also made the same recipe with 1/2 browned bulk sausage (in place of the artichokes) and used 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese instead of a cup of the 3 cheeses. They were excellent. Definitely use mini muffin pans for bite size appetizers.
I thought these little tidbits were awesome! I would definitely reccomend the mini muffin pans because the regular size is awkward. I also used italian seasoned bread crumbs which I think added abit to the flavor. They were fabulous though--this recipe goes into the VAULT!
Everyone loved these at Thanksgiving. Making them again I'd double the artichokes and half the cheese I thought they were a little greasy and not artichoke-y enough. But they're a great base.
This was a total hit with my bunco Group!I made a few changes though.... I added finely chopped water chestnuts and bacon pieces. I waited until the very end to add the artichokes so they would be a little more chunky. I thouhgt the 8 eggs was the perfect amount. The recipe made a large amount of servings but they were consumed quickly! This one is a winner!!!!
