I don't do as much cooking now as I did when my six children were growing up! I've found that this pretty bread makes a nice appetizer and goes great with any Italian meal. Try it with a soup and salad, too. Ruby Williams Bogalusa, Louisiana Ingredients:
1 loaf french or italian bread (about 1 pound) |
1 medium onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained |
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed |
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese |
1 tablespoon dried basil |
chopped fresh parsley, optional |
Directions:
1. Cut bread in half lengthwise. Place with cut side up on a baking sheet; set aside. In a skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add spinach and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and fennel seed; mix well. Spread evenly over bread halves. Sprinkle with tomato, mozzarella and basil. Bake at 400° for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley if desired. Cut into slices and serve immediately. Yield: 8-10 servings.
