Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add the chopped spinach to the mixture and stir to combine evenly.
Slice the French bread baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on each slice.
Place the bread slices onto a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture generously onto each slice of bread, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve immediately. Enjoy warm!
