Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or French bread
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette or French bread in half lengthwise and place the halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
Fold the cooked spinach into the butter and cream cheese mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Spread the spinach mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top of the spinach mixture.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For an extra golden top, switch to the broil setting for the last 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the spinach garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Slice into individual portions and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade spinach garlic bread!
