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! 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!
Spinach Dip Toast
Ingredients:
- 3 cups spinach, stems removed
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- pinch paprika
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup swiss cheese, grated
- 1/2 lg. french loaf, cut into 1-1/2″ thick slices
Directions:
- In a skillet over medium heat add butter, olive oil and onions. Cook for 10-12 minutes until onions are soft.
- Add garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes and cook for 1 more minute.
- Slowly stir in heavy cream and continue to stir for about 1 minute. Add spinach to the sauce and stir to coat. Let cook for another 4-5 minutes until spinach is completely cooked down. Remove from heat and stir in swiss cheese. Let sit for about 3-4 minutes to let the cheese melt.
- Place 2 tbsp of spinach dip on top of the sliced bread repeat with all slices, there should be about 6. Place toast in the toaster oven and toast for about 8-10 minutes until bread is nice and toasted and tops are lightly golden. Enjoy!
