Artichokes are a kind of very healthy vegetable… if you eat them alone. This is quite a rich and nourishing recipe, so do not eat if you are on a diet!
Actually, we filled the artichokes with two different kind of cheese. Then we covered the vegetables with  a crispy pastry lid.
Drawing something onto the lid surface is a trick to make the artichokes funny.
Briefly bake, et voilà, the best artichokes ever are ready for dinner. Enjoy!

Take a large pot. Bring to a boil about two litres of water adding a tablespoon of sea salt, the parsley, the garlic and a drizzle of oil. 
Meanwhile, clean and rinse the artichokes, remove the external and tougher leaves, cutting off the sharp leaf tips. 
Boil for five minutes. Drain upside-down for a while (see image above).

Slightly beat the eggs. 
Chop the semi-hard cheese and the cold cuts.
Take a bowl: put inside the cheeses (ricotta, semi-hard cow cheese, grated cheeses), the beaten egg yolks, the cold cuts. Add a pinch of salt and a generous pinch of powdered black pepper. 

Gently open the artichokes leaves with your hands and fill the vegetables with the stuffing.
Unfold the pie crust and using a pasta cutter cut 8 rings to top the artichokes. 
Make some small cuts onto the pastry surface, then brush with the milk.
Place the stuffed artichokes into a capable baking tin: they need to stand up. 
Add half a glass of water into the tin. Bake in preheated oven to 180°C for half an hour. 
Enjoy!
