DIRECTIONS
Artichoke Egg Bites
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Add ⅓ cup of the liquid of artichokes to a small skillet with the onions & garlic and saute over medium-high heat until onions are translucent, 4-5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and oregano, add Tabasco and stir. Stir in the artichokes, onions, and cheese. Season with salt & pepper. Fill each muffin tin with egg mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until eggs have been set. Let cool for 5 minutes, run a knife along the edges of each muffin, and invert muffins on a cooling rack. Serve warm or cold. It’s up to you!
- Add Reese Maraschino Cherries, organic cane sugar, and water to a heavy, wide saucepan and cook over medium to medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust lemon juice and sugar if needed.
- Allow the cherry compote to cool before transferring to a clean glass jar.
