Artichoke Pie
Description
The recipe starts by preheating the oven and sautéing chopped onions in olive oil until golden and slightly crispy, developing sweetness and depth. In a bowl, eggs are beaten with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, creating a seasoned custard base. The drained and quartered artichoke hearts and cooked onions are arranged in a standard pie crust, then covered with the egg mixture and topped with shredded mozzarella cheese.
The assembled pie is baked at 350°F for around 40 to 45 minutes until the eggs set and the cheese melts and browns slightly. The result is an appealing balance of textures: a tender, eggy filling rich with cheeses and savory vegetables, all encased in a crisp, golden crust.
Artichoke Pie is suited for brunch, lunch, or dinner as a vegetarian option. It pairs well with salads or simple side dishes and can be served warm or at room temperature. This savory pie highlights the subtle flavors of artichokes and cheeses in a custard tart form.
