Instructions

Pre-Preparation

  1. Wash and mince garlic.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Preparation

  1. Melt butter over medium heat and transfer to a heat-proof container to reserve.
  2. Using the same pan greased with butter, sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until the spinach releases its liquid.
  3. Drain the spinach and garlic mixture by pressing lightly to release the liquid.
  4. Mix the spinach and garlic mixture with feta and cream cheese until combined.
  5. Using the reserved melted butter, brush 1 teaspoon on the bottom of each bread slice.
  6. Place 24 bread slices butter side down on parchment-lined sheet pans.
  7. Scoop 6 ounces (by weight) of the spinach cheese mixture onto each bread slice and spread.
  8. Place the top slice of bread on each sandwich and brush the tops with another teaspoon of melted butter.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is slightly melted and the bread is browned.
  10. For best quality, serve immediately. Otherwise, hold hot until service at 140 degrees F or higher.

Menu Development

When we change from ready-to-heat foods to fresh foods in the context of menu planning, letting go of prior presumptions is important. Determining the amount of choices and how many per each age group are examples of menu planning challenges. Efficient, fiscally sustainable scratch-cooking programs are reducing choices in favor of fresh flavors.

Management

Management is a general term for all of the areas we include here: fiscal, human resources, facilities, assessment, and wellness policies. In order for a district’s food service department to be successful, the director has to be adept in a vast array of subjects.

Procurement

Procurement is one of the most complex processes that happen within our food service departments. In the event of shifting a program from using processed, ready-to-heat foods to scratch cooked recipes, many processes change.
