Artichoke Cheese Bites II bring together tangy marinated artichokes and a trio of melty cheeses for rich, savory nibbles with a hint of garlic and herbs. Lightly peppered and kissed with hot sauce and Worcestershire, they bake up like petite, quiche-style squares. Serve warm for parties, potlucks, or as a festive appetizer before dinner.

Pour the reserved liquid from the marinated artichoke hearts into a medium saucepan. Over medium heat, cook and stir the onion and garlic slowly until tender.
3

In a blender or food processor, combine the artichoke hearts, eggs, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, black pepper, Italian-style seasoning, hot pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Blend until smooth. Stir in the onions, garlic, and dry bread crumbs.
