Chef John's Simple Spinach Toasts

Spinach toast is what happens when you have some leftover creamed spinach that you don’t want to throw away. And as you know, a cook is only as good as his or her leftovers. This makes a super-nice, easy lunch.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step: 2

Brush the lighter sides of the toast with olive oil. Place the toast pieces onto the prepared baking sheet with oiled sides down.

Step: 3

Spoon leftover creamed spinach onto the toast slices, spreading the spinach all the way to the edges. Top each with a sprinkle of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn on the oven’s broiler and broil spinach toasts until the cheese is lightly browned, about 2 more minutes.
