Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 slices Rustic bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 piece Lemon wedge (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to broil on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then remove from heat.
Toast the slices of rustic bread in a toaster or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly crisp.
Place the toasted bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the cooked spinach mixture evenly between the two slices, spreading it across the surface.
Top the spinach mixture with crumbled feta cheese, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over both slices.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Carefully remove the melts from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
If desired, serve with a wedge of lemon for a bright, tangy finish.
