preparation
Drain spinach; press between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Pulse pieces of French bread in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Measure crumbs, and repeat procedure until you have 1 1/2 cups. Combine spinach, artichoke hearts, and next 5 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Spoon into a lightly greased 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish. Combine breadcrumbs and butter; sprinkle over spinach mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25 minutes. Serve with assorted crackers or breadsticks. Yield: 4 cups. |
