Artichoke Pie
Crust for a 2-crust pie
2 (14-oz.) can artichoke hearts, well drained and chopped
2-3 Tbls. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tsp. each dried oregano and parsley
black pepper and salt to taste (cheeses are salty)
3 cups (3/4 lb.) shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bottom crust in a 9" pie pan, set aside.
Saute chopped artichoke hearts and garlic in olive oil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl combine eggs, Parmesan cheese and herbs, pepper and salt (if using).
Remove artichoke mixture from heat and let cool about 5 minutes, then mix into egg-cheese mixture. Mix in mozzarella and spread into pastry lined pie pan.
Top with 2nd crust and cut vent slits to let steam escape. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling through vent slits.
Serve warm.
Leftovers: reheat gently in the microwave.
