Ingredients

1 loaf French bread
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup grated Gruyere cheese
½ cup grated provolone cheese
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for topping
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
⅓ cup thinly sliced green onion, white and light green parts only
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and chopped
2 cups chopped marinated artichoke hearts

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat®).
Cut bread into 1/2-inch slices. Transfer onto the prepared sheet and brush very generously with melted butter until well soaked.
Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before topping. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Add cream cheese, Gruyere, provolone, 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, garlic, green onion, pepper, salt, cayenne, nutmeg, spinach, and artichokes to a mixing bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
Use a spoon to top each piece of toast with at least a 1/2-inch thick layer of the cheese, artichoke, and spinach mixture. Grate some extra Parmigiano-Reggiano on top of each toast if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops and bottoms are nicely browned, about 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I made these toasts for my family and they loved them. The toasts are cheesy, gooey, and have the perfect amount of spinach and artichoke. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of artichokes, but I really enjoyed these toasts. The spinach and cheese really balance out the flavor of the artichokes. I'll definitely be making these again.
