How to Make Artichoke Cheese Balls

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drain and mash two (14-ounce) cans of artichoke hearts in a large bowl.
  3. Mince 4 cloves of garlic.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the mashed artichokes and 2 large beaten eggs to the skillet. Cook and stir for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through and slightly thickened.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of breadcrumbs, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and ½ cup of grated mozzarella cheese.
  7. Remove the artichoke mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll each artichoke ball in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  9. Place the cheese balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
