Easy Recipe for Artichoke Pie

I am absolutely abuzz to share this awesome Artichoke Pie recipe with you.   It’s a great dish for a meatless Monday meal or a girl friends luncheon, but trust me, men like it too.    I got this recipe from my friend, Robyn, who also happens to be the mom of my daughter’s boyfriend.  

The creaminess of the cheese and the heartiness of the artichokes all baked up in a bubbly pie will become a family favorite.

Artichoke Pie

Prep time: 15 mins  Cook time: 45 mins  Total time: 1 hour   Serves: 6-8 

This is an easy 5-ingredient recipe that utilizes ready-made pie crust. If you are ambitious, by all means make your own dough. I prefer to use the pre-made dough and roll it out.

Ingredients

• 1 9″ pie crust (I used a deep dish pie pan so the crust only came up to the top of the edge)
• 2 can quartered articokes
• 1 16oz block of mozzarella cut into chuncks
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 gloves garlic

Instructions

1. Place oil in saute pan with garlic. Cook a minute or two until fragrant. Add the artichokes and saute until they are soft but not browned.
2. Meanwhile, cut the block of mozzarella into chunks. Drop eggs into a bowl and whisk a little, then add the cheese. Add artichokes into the pie crust with a slotted spoon. Pour the egg mixture on top. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes.

Serve with a simple green salad and light vinaigrette.    It’s rich, creamy and comforting, but most of all easy.
