How to Make Baked Artichoke Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 2 stalks celery (finely chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet. Sautee until celery is tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in: 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, and 2 large eggs. Mix well.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup milk.
  7. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough ball forms.
  8. Press the dough into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes.
  10. Spread the artichoke mixture evenly over the partially baked crust.
  11. Continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  12. Let cool slightly before cutting into 24 squares.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
