Marinated artichoke hearts, cheddar cheese, and tabasco sauce add a pleasant sharpness to this interesting appetizer. It can be made the day before, chilled (to bring out the flavor of the artichoke hearts,) then cut into little squares before serving.
This appetizer is good make-ahead food since it stores well overnight.
Good served with an assortment of other hot and cold appetizers, such as cold shrimp with cocktail sauce, stuffed mushrooms, avocado stuffed cherry tomatoes.
