I've had them a few times, but not in a long time. I'm sure I've seen them in some of the old Junior League cookbooks. I think they were popular a long time ago. My Mom says those and spinach balls were a staple at showers and the like.

The artichoke balls remind me of a hot artichoke bite recipe my Mom got from the Advocate a long time ago. Marinated artichoke hearts, chopped, garlic or powder, parm cheese and mayo. Spread that on rye cocktail break and bake until crispy on the bottom and bubbly on top. I make those a lot. I made over 80 this past weekend to freeze for Christmas Eve.

Yeah I never really heard of either until I came to BR. Crazy how this state has so many separate traditions, accents, etc. in such a short distance.

I don’t really measure anything and I use more green onions, because I love them. I used cayenne pepper rather than hot sauce, but either will do.

1 6oz jar marinated artichoke hearts, chopped. Save a little of the oil and use it in the mixture.
¾ to 1 cup mayo
1 5oz wedge of parmesan cheese, grated (I’ve never measured this.
¼ cup chopped green onion
A few cloves of finely chopped garlic or a generous amount of granulated garlic
Hot pepper sauce or cayenne to taste
1 pkg cocktail size rye bread

Mix all ingredients together except bread. Mixture should be thick. Add more of whatever you want to make it thicker, if need be. You should have plenty of artichoke to go on each piece of bread, because too much mayo in the mixture could make the bites greasy. The mayo is really a binder and the egg in it makes them puff.

Bake at 350 about 15 minutes or more, until the bottoms are somewhat crispy and the tops are lightly browned and bubbly. I bake in the lower oven so the bottoms get toasted. I usually bake them on a sheet of non stick foil on the baking sheet for easy cleanup.

Serve warm. These should make about 20 or so apps.

When I made them last weekend, I used 8 6 oz jars of the hearts and didn't multiply the mayo for that amount because it really would have been too much. I like it "artichokey". I didn't multiply the amounts of the parm cheese either. I just added those two things until I got the texture I wanted. I baked some testers since I was making so much at once. Actually, it made more than 80 because I tested some and I still have some of the mixture that I'm going to put on the rest of the bread for company tonight.

You can sub hearts of palm if you like or mix the two.

I freeze them on the baking sheets and then vac seal them. They keep very well and I cook them frozen for longer rather than allow them to defrost because they might get mushy.

I this coffee tastes good, but I don't drink it regularly either.

It murders my stomach. I don't know how people drink it daily

They're so easy and quite good. Sort of like an artichoke parm dip on rye, but better than the dips in restaurants. Those always have a funky texture to me.


Sometimes, I cut them horizontally or down the middle before serving. Just depends on the group and whether it's for a cocktail party or just an app with drinks before dinner.

Make sure the bottoms get toasty. I don't like them as much when they aren't toasty on the bottom.

You just go right from freezer to oven correct? That should help the toasting.

I used to hate coffee unless it was loaded with sugar and creamer, so I get it.

Just giving you a hard time

Yes, I use either Pepperidge Farms or the brand that looks to be a German or some other name. Any of the little cocktail breads will do.
