Equipment
- Grater
- Baking Sheet
- Chef's Knife
- Wooden Spoon
- Skillet
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 9-inch frozen pie crust (regular size, not deep)
- 1 15 oz artichoke hearts (in water) drained and quartered
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 1/3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. This is essential for ensuring your pie bakes evenly and comes out golden brown.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil and onions. Sauté until they are golden and almost crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch for the onions to become translucent and start to caramelize, which adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
- Once your onions are done, set them aside to cool slightly. This will prevent them from cooking the eggs when you mix them.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together with the grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined. The eggs should be fluffy, and the cheese should blend seamlessly.
- Now, it's time to assemble! Place the drained and quartered artichoke hearts along with the sautéed onions into the pie crust. Spread them evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Next, pour the egg mixture over the artichokes and onions. Use a fork to gently stir and combine the layers a bit, ensuring that everything is evenly distributed.
- Top with the shredded mozzarella. This will create a lovely, gooey topping that’s irresistible.
- Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are set, which should take about 40 to 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This waiting period helps the pie to set up a bit more and makes serving easier.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade Artichoke Pie!
