Made March 31st. Absolutely delicious!! And a big hit at the dinner party I took it too.

My Variations:
*Bunched spinach instead of the baby spinach. It worked really well. It made a little more work for me because I had to wash the spinach and trim the stems off, but it was worth it since I only paid 50 cents per bunch and it just took 2 bunches.
*roma tomato because that was I had.
*French bread instead of baguette. I seriously debated whether or not I should go ahead and buy the baguette bread, but really this worked fine.
