Ingredients:
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
1 (6 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts
3 (8 ounce) packages fat free cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups crumbled feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
3 eggs
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Mix the bread crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl and press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan; set aside.
3. Drain 2 tablespoons of artichoke marinade and discard the rest, chop artichokes.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in feta, oregano, and garlic until well blended; beat in eggs until just combined, do not over mix.
5. Stir in artichoke hearts, 2 tablespoons of reserved marinade, and green onion, pour into springform pan over bread crumb crust. Bake until center appears set when shaken, about 35 minutes. Remove and place on cooling rack for 30 minutes.
6. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours but up to 24 hours. Can be served right out of fridge or let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes; cut into 16 thin appetizer slices before serving and serve with crackers.
They sell reduced fat feta cheese which tastes as great as regular, and helps to make this recipe even more diabetic friendly!
