1 Drain artichokes, reserving 1/2 cup marinade. Set aside. Cut artichokes into slices. In a skillet, saute green onions and garlic in oil until tender. Remove from the heat.

2 In a large bowl, beat eggs well. Stir in the artichokes, mushrooms, cheese, cracker crumbs, onion mixture and the reserved marinade.
