Description

Ingredients

• 3 packages of frozen quartered artichoke hearts, thawed (the canned or jarred are too briny)
• 2/3 cup of seasoned bread crumbs, divided in half
• 1 cup of Romano or Parmesan cheese, divided in half
• 2 tsp. of garlic powder, divided in half (Im told at one point Grandma used minced garlic, but its my understanding this was long before my time. I only ever remember her using garlic powder).
• Olive oil (to drizzle)
• Water

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 x 8 baking pan.
• Boil your artichoke hearts for 3-5 minutes, then drain well and pat dry.
• Combine your bread crumbs, cheese and garlic powder in a bowl and divide into two equal amounts and set aside.
• Take half of the artichokes and arrange tightly in a single layer in your pan.
• Top with half of the bread crumb mixture.
• Arrange the rest of the artichokes in a second layer and top with the rest of the breadcrumb mixture.
• Use the back of a spoon (or clean fingers) to poke holes all around the top. Fill them lightly with water- You dont want it drenched and floating in water but you dont want it to be dry either.
• Drizzle with olive oil to taste (dont drown it) and bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
