Description:I love quiche and had tried several 'crustless' quiche recipes before finding this one... it's the best! The crumbled saltines give it just enough ... something. Texture, I guess... and hold-together-ivness ;-)
It is great reheated as a breakfast entree, but I prefer it cut into 1" squares and served at room temperature as an appetizer or finger food.
Forgot to take a photo before digging in! lol (That's a double batch in a 9X13" baking dish)
Ingredients:
1/2 c. onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
20 marinated artichokes (2 jars), drained and chopped
2 c. mild cheddar cheese, grated
5 eggs
6 saltines, crumbled fine
pinch salt
pepper to taste
Directions:
Saute the onion and garlic in some of the artichoke 'oil'.
Then mix together with the rest of the ingredients.
Bake in an 8X8" oiled pyrex dish at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Recipe doubles well.
Notes:
You know those little jars of marinated artichoke hearts at the grocery store... at like $3 each? Well, a gigantic jar at Costco is about $8 and will make numerous batches. That's why the friend who gave me the recipe counted how many were in the little jars and wrote down the recipe that way altho... the ones in the Costco jar seem to be larger, so count "quarter" artichokes as one (IOW, a "half" an artichoke equals two for our purposes~
Also, I'm not a huge fan of onions, and sauteeing them and the garlic is just another dirty skillet imo... so for this most recent *double* batch, I substituted 1 T dried minced onion/ 1/2 t. garlic granules (similar to garlic powder)/ and 1 T dried parsley (just seemed like a good idea ;-) ~and it came out *really* good.
