Drain artichokes, stem-ends up; cut in half lengthwise. Use tip of teaspoon to remove choke from each artichoke half.
Pull leaves gently away from base of each artichoke half.
Sprinkle cheese between leaves; press together to enclose filling. Dip artichokes, 1 at a time, in eggs, then roll in cracker crumbs until evenly coated.
Heat half the oil in large skillet.
Add 4 artichoke halves; cook 3 to 5 min. or until golden brown, turning to brown all sides.
Drain. Repeat with remaining oil and artichokes.
