Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 5 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 24 thin slices, about 1/2-inch thick each.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
While the crostini are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the skillet for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until fully wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Season the spinach and feta mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each crostini and spread evenly.
Optional: Place the topped crostini back in the oven for 2-3 minutes to warm the topping, or serve as is.
Arrange the Spinach Feta Crostini on a serving platter and enjoy!
