Preparation

Peel the artichokes, remove the tough outer leaves and spikes, cut into wedges and put them to soak in water with the lemon juice. Peel, wash and slice the potatoes. Grease an ovenproof dish, put a layer of drained artichokes on the bottom, then grated cheese, salt, chopped parsley, a little olive oil, and salt and pepper; then continue layering with the potatoes, salt, more cheese, and plenty of breadcrumbs. Finish by pouring over all four lightly beaten eggs. Bake at 200 °C for 30 minutes.

Tips
If you want to give more flavour to this dish, use a ‘pecorino’ (sheep’s milk) cheese in place of the parmesan and add a little garlic olive oil or fresh garlic.
Trivia
