Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 loaf French bread
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and hollow out the center slightly to create a cavity.
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bread halves. Press the two halves back together and brush the outside with melted butter.
- Wrap the stuffed bread in aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Unwrap and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
