Preheat the oven to 350º
In microwave cook approximately 15 to 20 minutes:
4 artichokes, trimmed and base cut so they will sit flat
Remove the chokes by removing the center leaves and scraping with a large spoon. Place them in a square baking pan.
While the chokes are cooking blend together in a mixing bowl:
1 cup (8 ounces) whole milk ricotta cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup HoneyBaked Ham cut in strips
2 green onions minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Divide and stuff the chokes with the mixture and sprinkle the tops with:
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
Add some water to the bottom of the pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
