I made this recipie up instead of putting my laundry away. Its really yummy and a more creative use of my time. If you cant tell yet, I put spinich in almost everything... even in my spaghetti.
Serves: about 12
Time: 5 min
8 oz. cream cheese
2 garlic cloves minced
1 cup packed fresh spinich
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp basil flakes
tomato chopped fresh or sundried (optional)
1 loaf french bread (you can use cheesey bread too.)
slice loaf into 1 inch slices on a diagnal. lay on cookie sheet and put under the broiler for 3-5 min till golden brown. you can also put slices on the grill for about 30 sec or till slightly charred on edges. meanwhile pack spinich in a food processor and finley chop. add garlic, parmesan, lemon juice, and basil and chop again. Add cream cheese and pulse till creamy and smooth. (It will turn a minty green color). Spread on toasted bread while still warm and add optional tomatos. Serve immediatly. ( Spread can be made ahead of time.) you can finish off with a sprig of parsley for looks.
