Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces thick slices of sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 300 grams ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 150 grams frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of the sourdough bread slices with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes on each side until lightly crispy, then set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, thawed spinach, heavy cream, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Spoon the beef and spinach mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top of each slice.
Place the prepared slices back in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Supper on a Bread Slice!
