Artichoke and Eggs

* 4 jars (6-1/2 ounces each) marinated artichoke hearts
* 1/2 cup chopped green onions

* 3 cups (12 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
* 1 cup butter-flavored cracker crumbs (about 25 crackers)

* 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.
