1/4teaspoonred pepper flakes
1bagbaby spinach(8 ounces)
Salt and pepper to taste
1packageGouda cheese(6 ounces) shredded
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush the tops with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Toast for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and artichokes and cook for about 5 minutes or until the onions soften. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the spinach to the pan and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Flip the toasted baguette so the untoasted side is facing up. Spoon the spinach-artichoke mixture evenly over each piece, then sprinkle generously with shredded Gouda. Return the pan to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. If you like a little heat, sprinkle the tops with more red pepper flakes before serving.
