We enjoy having friends over on occasion. One, it’s a nice chance to get together and, two, it’s a great opportunity to make new recipes for the blog.
I found this baked artichoke squares recipe in my Mom’s recipe collection. I made it years and years ago and then promptly lost it.
One day while perusing a folder of hers full of handwritten recipes, there it was! I may or may not have done a happy dance.

Our neighbors had a gathering planned so I offered to bring this recipe. It’s just as yummy as I remember. Plus, it was a hit. Everyone loved them.
How do I serve artichoke squares?
This recipe is so easy to make and serve. It’s yummy warm or at room temperature. This recipe travels well making it perfect for a potluck party.
When I serve these baked artichoke squares I cut them into about 2-inch by 1-inch rectangles. You could certainly cut them larger or smaller depending on your preference.
If you have more appetizer offerings at your party, go with smaller squares but if you have fewer appetizers to offer, go with larger ones.
You may consider putting each square in a mini or regular-size paper muffin cup for easier handling. Your guests would probably appreciate it.
Pro Tip:
These cheesy baked artichoke squares could also be served as a side dish for any entree. Just cut them a bit larger for a side dish portion.
What Beverages Should I Serve with Artichoke Squares?
These baked artichoke squares pair nicely with a white wine such as a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, even a chardonnay or my white wine sangria.
If you prefer a cocktail, something light like a vodka soda or an Irish Buck cocktail.
Beer is another option but don’t go with a dark beer. Something like a lager would be perfect.
So Happy to Find This!
“This was one of the first things I ever cooked as a kid. I think I found the recipe in a magazine or something. I made it often over the years and it was always a hit. But one day I went to make it and found it wasn’t in my old recipe box and I had no idea exactly what went into it. I’ve been googling for a while but yours is the first I came across. I think the only difference was the one I made used crumbled rye but I’m sure it would work with any type of breadcrumb. It’s just as delicious as I remembered. Thank you for giving me back an old favorite!” ~ Mari
Can I freeze artichoke squares?
Yes! Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap and then again in foil. Store in a labeled freezer bag. When ready to use, warm them up in a low, 300°F oven or microwave briefly. My preferred method is the oven.
Can I use plain artichoke hearts as opposed to marinated ones?
I recommend using marinated artichoke hearts because the marinade, a combination of oil flavored with garlic, herbs, and sometimes peppercorns and chiles, makes the recipe all the more flavorful.
Using a plain variety will produce bland appetizers.
What can I substitute for the Cheddar cheese?
You could substitute the Cheddar cheese with mozzarella or Colby. Either would be delicious. An alternative name for this appetizer could be cheesy artichoke squares.
Why We Love This Recipe
I think one of the reasons this appetizer is such a hit is that it’s a little different. Artichokes are not all that common in appetizers. They may be common as an appetizer but rarely do I attend a party where there is an artichoke appetizer.
There are always spinach dips or cocktail meatballs or even wings. As a result, those are really popular.
