Breaded Artichoke Hearts

/

I had 10 minutes before the cook-off started that I wasn’t prepared for because I thought it was the next day! The only requirement was that I cook with artichokes. After a brief panic, I called my mom and of course, she knew exactly what I should make and now, it’s my new favorite! You won’t believe how delicious and easy this restaurant-quality artichoke appetizer is! So impressive!

Using quartered and canned artichokes make this restaurant-quality appetizer so easy!
