How to Make Baked Artichoke Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- 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).
- 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.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough ball forms.
- Press the dough into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Spread the artichoke mixture evenly over the partially baked crust.
- Continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into 24 squares.
- 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!
