Add to the Spinach mixture and stir until fully integrated.

Cut the Pimento into 1/4" squares.
In the medium mixing bowl, add the Pimento and the Neufchatel Cheese mixture.
Add the Liquid Smoke, Salt, and the Lemon Juice.
Mix together until all of the ingredients are fully integrated.

Move the Spinach Artichoke Cheese Dip into an oven-safe dish,

Then, Broil the Bread Slices on high for 3 minutes,
