Description
A warm and cheesy French bread pizza topped with creamy Alfredo sauce, sautéed spinach, and melted mozzarella, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large loaf French bread, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups fresh spinach, sautéed
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
- Place the French bread halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over each bread half, leaving a small border.
- Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly over the sauce, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add Italian seasoning if using.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and edges are golden.
- Let the bread rest for 2 minutes before slicing into pieces and serving warm.
Notes
Avoid overloading the bread with sauce to maintain a crispy crust. To re-crisp leftovers, place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
