Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the bacon with the brown sugar in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Arrange the bacon on a baking sheet and bake until light golden around the edges but still very soft, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe the baking sheet clean, then spray with cooking spray.
- Stir together the spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture onto each slice of bread and wrap it with a piece of bacon so that the ends are tucked under the bread (it should look a bit like a belt). Arrange the crostini on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the bacon is dark golden, about 15 minutes. These are best served warm.

CREAMED SPINACH WITH BACON
My twins wouldn't eat anything that even resembled a vegetable, but they ate seconds and sometimes thirds of this fabulous spinach. I received the recipe from a friend several years ago, and it's been part of my Thanksgiving menu ever since. I usually double or triple the recipe.

Tips for Making Creamy Spinach Bacon Crostini
- Use fresh baby spinach for the best flavor and texture. If you only have regular spinach, be sure to remove the stems before chopping.
- Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still bright green.
- Use a good quality bacon for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon is especially good for this recipe.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy when it is added to the crostini.
- Use a good quality bread for the crostini. A baguette or ciabatta bread works well.
- Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Spread the creamy spinach mixture on the crostini. You can also top with additional crumbled bacon, Parmesan cheese, or a fried egg.
- Serve the crostini immediately.
