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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the baguette or French bread in half lengthwise and place the halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Fold the cooked spinach into the butter and cream cheese mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 7

Spread the spinach mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 8

Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top of the spinach mixture.

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

For an extra golden top, switch to the broil setting for the last 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 11

Remove the spinach garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Slice into individual portions and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade spinach garlic bread!
