Artichoke Heart and Red Pepper Bites image

These are really easy to make and everyone loves them. They are great to keep in the freezer and just pop into the oven when guest show up unexpectedly, or when you have the munchies. I usually like to roast my own peppers, but have used roasted peppers from a jar as well. If you can't get artichoke hearts packed in oil just drain the liquid and use two tablespoons of your favorite olive oil. To make this recipe Passover-friendly, just sub matzoh meal for the breadcrumbs.
