Popey in the Platyz

Yesterday we decided to give spinach a new chance in our lifes. This great, iron and vitamin c giving plant is kinda missing in our everyday diet, although, cooked right, it's deliciouse. So we used it in two really easy recipes. The first one was "cheese/spinach bruschetta" the second "spinach quiche". so here we go...

Cheese/Spinach Bruschetta



ingredients:
4 ciabatta breads
200g cheese (we used feta)
1 onion
4 pieces of garlic
butter
2 tomatos
salt and pepper
450 g spinach

preperation:
it's actually a very simplified bruschetta recipe. u cut the breads in halfs, butter them, cut the garlic and the tomatos into pieces and put them aswell on the breads. cook the spinach in 50 ml hot water. after it's cooked put it on the breads and top them with slices of cheese. then u bake everything in the preheated oven (ca. 180°C) for about 10 minutes. ...buon appetito!
