Creamed Spinach Garlic Bread
servings: Makes 8 to 10 pieces of garlic bread
Ingredients:
- ½ sourdough bread loaf (about 5- by 10-inches)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 5 ounces baby spinach (about 5 cups loosely packed)
- 1½ ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons cream
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoons nutmeg
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 ounces shredded mozzarella
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions:
- Turn on the broiler, to high if you have that option. Slice the sourdough open lengthwise and set aside.
- In a medium pan over medium heat, add the oil and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the garlic and cook until it is wilted, about 3 minutes more.
- Add the Parmesan and cream to the spinach and cook until the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Then add the salt, nutmeg, and pepper.
- Remove the spinach mixture from the heat and top both halves of the cut-side of the bread with it. Then add the mozzarella to each half, and finally the red pepper flakes. Place the halves on a baking sheet and broil on high until the cheese is melted and slightly brown--3 to 7 minutes.
