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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 24 thin slices, about 1/2-inch thick each.

Step 3

Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

While the crostini are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the skillet for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Season the spinach and feta mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each crostini and spread evenly.

Step 11

Optional: Place the topped crostini back in the oven for 2-3 minutes to warm the topping, or serve as is.

Step 12

Arrange the Spinach Feta Crostini on a serving platter and enjoy!
