I think my Artichoke Squares would fit beautifully with your Italian-themed meal
These are a great little appetizer for a casual get together. Cut the squares a little larger to serve as a side dish with your favorite meal
Ingredients
12 ounce can artichoke hearts, not marinated
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 medium shallots, minced
3 large eggs
2 large egg whites
8 ounces Jarlsburg cheese, shredded
fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
coarse salt, sea salt preferred
freshly ground black pepper
additional olive oil, for the pan
additional parsley sprigs, optional
Method
Preheat oven to 325°
Finely chop the artichokes; set aside
In small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat, cook minced shallots until tender – about 5 minutes
In medium bowl beat or whisk eggs and egg whites until blended. Stir in cooked onion and chopped artichokes, Swiss cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Lightly coat a 12" x 8" baking dish with olive oil. Spread mixture evenly into coated baking dish
Bake 30 to 35 minutes until set and lightly browned. Cool 15 minutes. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips then cut each strip crosswise into 5 pieces
Arrange appetizer on serving dish; garnish with parsley sprigs if desired
I think fruit makes a nice light appetizer. You can add a nice fruit dip to go with it.

Keep it simple. Try some Shrimp cocktail and Smoked Salmon. Easy and light.
