Prepare the spinach-and-cheese mixture up to a day ahead; cover and chill in an airtight container.

Ingredients

  • 1 (10-oz.) package frozen spinach, thawed
  • 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 (16-oz.) French bread loaf, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°. Drain spinach well, pressing between paper towels to remove excess water.

Step 2

Stir together spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl. Top each bread slice with 2 Tbsp. cheese mixture. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Place bread slices on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake at 325° for 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated and nuts are toasted.

Served this appetizer twice with great reviews. Second time went to a loaf half the diameter of the size reccomended. That size works better for party appetizers, the larger size if you are serving as a first course at dinner. Good flavor, pine nuts give a nice flavor and texture.
