Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently., Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. Stir in bread crumbs.

ARTICHOKE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl beat your six eggs. Add the Parmesan cheese, hot pepper, shredded mozzarella, and artichokes (I use marinated and drain them first). You can also thrown in black olives or Spanish green olives (drain and rinse first). Slice or leave whole but if you use green olives, don't use Parmesan cheese (too salty)
• 2. In a pan sauté garlic in oil or instead you can add garlic powder to your beaten eggs
• 3. Add your egg mix into pan and cook for a few minutes (mozzarella will get gooey). Now pour into one shell and cover with the other. (I use Marie Callender pie crusts).
• 4. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until top is golden brown

SAUSAGE AND ARTICHOKE PIE

Steps:

• Using a large frying pan, sautee the onion and artichoke hearts in olive oil until fragrant, add chopped garlic. Cook garlic almost to the point of browning.
• Add the crumbled sausage, using wooden spoon to break up and separate during cooking. Add salt, pepper, bell seasoning and grated cheese. Cook sausage thoroughly.
• When sausage is fully cooked, turn off heat and stir in shredded mozzarella cheese, enough to 'hold' the sausage and artichoke mixture together, usually an entire package of cheese does the trick.
• Fill the pie crust level with the top of the crust with mixture, sprinkle top with grated and shredded mozzarella cheeses.
• Bake at 400 degrees until thoroughly heated, about 20-30 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Saute garlic until it starts to brown.
• Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook 10 minutes before adding the bread crumbs and half of the parmesan cheese.

• Pour eggs over artichoke mixture and sprinkle in the rest of the parmesan cheese.
• Spoon the rest of the artichoke mixture into the pie and top with mozzarella cheese.
• Sprinkle chopped tomato, if using, over top.
