Directions: |
Directions:Cook artichokes as directed on package. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir in flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and dry mustard. When flour mixture is smooth and bubbly, gradually stir in reserved cooking liquid and milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat. Combine beaten egg with half of grated cheese. Gradually stir hot sauce mixture into egg and cheese mixture. Blend well. Place artichokes in a shallow baking dish in a single layer. Pour sauce over artichokes; sprinkle with cheese, bread crumbs, and sprinkle with paprika if using. Bake at 425° for 18 to 22 minutes. Serves 6. |

Notes: You can also do this with other grated cheeses, like Gouda, White Cheddar, Fontina, and Parmesan or Romano. Artichokes are my personal favorite. I have added spinach sautéed in garlic before. This creates a sort of spinach artichoke dip flair without so much creaminess. Adding a sautéed red bell pepper or chopped roasted red pepper also makes it a little more interesting. You get the idea ... improvise!
