Creamy and delicious spinach dip on top of freshly sliced french bread toasted to golden perfection. I had some leftover french bread that I needed to use up so I decided to try my own twist on a spinach dip on toast appetizer. It was a hit! Â You could also just make the spinach dip as shown below and simply dip your toasted french bread into the dip but I think toasting it all together really transforms this dish into something amazing!
