Baguette slices may be broiled several hours ahead of serving. Keep at room temperature, uncovered until serving time.

I love spinach and artichoke dip, and this recipe was tasty and easy. Marscapone can be pretty pricey, so next time I might try to use sour cream instead and see how it turns out.

OMG this is amazing! I think it might even be better than the one at the restaurant. Who needs crostini? Just give me a spoon!

This was amazing! It tasted just like the spinach and artichoke dip at restaurants. Cheesy and delicious when served warm. Honestly, I could probably eat spoonsful of this on its own, without crackers or bread.
