Spinach Artichoke French Bread Pizza

Spinach Artichoke French Bread Pizza's are delicious for quick, weeknight dinner or a game day snack. Use the topping as a dip too!

If you're like me, by Friday night I'm usually wiped and don't want to fuss over a big dinner. The girls are usually coming and going as their social calendar has taken precedence over ours. 

So I like to make things that are fast, easy and can be reheated quickly. A few years ago I found a recipe in Rachael Ray Magazine for these Spinach Artichoke Pizzas and figured I'd give it a try.

I didn't follow her recipe exactly, but the premise was still there.

Ingredients

Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the bread into four sections, then slice horizontally, creating eight halves and lay them on a baking sheet.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the garlic. Stir until the flavor of the garlic starts to release; then add the flour, forming a roux.

Reduce heat to low and add the milk and both cheeses. Whisk together until all of the cheese has melted and the sauce becomes thick.

Add the artichokes and spinach and mix until well blended. Portion the sauce on top of each bread half and top with the sliced Mozzarella cheese and thyme. Bake for approximately 10 minutes; then broil for 2 minutes to get the cheese browned. 

These Spinach Artichoke French Bread Pizzas were so good! I also think that I found a new way to make Artichoke Spinach Dip too because this way was even better than the way I had made it previously.

This recipe makes 8 pizzas; however, you can also cut them into slices and serve as an appetizer. Enjoy!
