Artichoke Bites Squares

2 (6-ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts, undrained
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Drain artichoke hearts, reserving liquid from one jar. Finely chop artichoke hearts, and set aside.  Saute onion and garlic in reserved liquid in a large skillet over medium heat until tender. Set aside.  In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, basil, pepper and red pepper flakes until well blended. Add chopped artichokes, onion mixture, and cheese; stir well. Pour into a lightly greased 11 x 7 x 1 1/2-inch baking dish.  Bake, uncovered, at 325*F (160*C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Cool slightly and cut into small squares. Serve warm or cool.
