Instructions
- Begin by heating olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until tender and fragrant.
- Once the onion and garlic are softened, gently stir in the drained artichoke hearts, allowing the mixture to combine well, then remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and hot pepper sauce until thoroughly blended.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cracker crumbs, and the sautéed artichoke mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 11x7x2-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, indicating that it is fully cooked.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before cutting into 1-inch squares for serving.
- These Artichoke Nibbles are best enjoyed warm, making them a delicious and inviting appetizer for any occasion.
