Spinach Artichoke Dip

1 can artichoke hearts, packed in water, drained
1 bag frozen organic spinach (Trader Joes!) - thawed and drained
3 cloves garlic
juice of one lemon
2 eggs
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
cayenne pepper

Finely chop both the artichoke hearts and spinach.
Crush the 3 garlic cloves
in a small bowl, break the 2 eggs into the juice of one lemon and mix with a fork.
Add 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds to the lemon/egg mixture.
Mix in the artichokes and spinach, and add the cayenne to taste.

Spray a small glass casserole dish (8 inches square) with olive oil.
Cover and bake for 25 - 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Remove cover and bake or broil another 5 - 10 minutes.

I ate this tonight to accompany steamed salmon. MMMMMM

This turned out a little dryer than I imagined - will need to reconsider - perhaps add a bit of water or broth?

Makes 4 servings. (If you eat half, it is only 1 egg, but that was too much for me.)

I think it would be good to stuff mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini...
And some toasted health seed spelt bread crumbs on top would be good, too.
