Ingredients
  

For the Bread Base
  • 1 loaf French Bread A sturdy loaf provides the best support for the cheesy topping.
For the Cheesy Mixture
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese This cheese melts beautifully; consider mozzarella as a good substitute but steer clear of cheddar.
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise Adds a tangy creaminess; Miracle Whip can jazz it up with extra flavor.
  • ½ cup Butter Softened butter ensures easy mixing, enhancing the rich taste of the bread.
For the Fresh Flavor
  • ¼ cup Green Onions These add a fresh, mild onion taste that perfectly complements the dish.
For the Signature Touch
  • ½ cup Olives (Black & Green) The stars of Olive Cheese Bread; slice fresh olives for extra juiciness and flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Olive Cheese Bread
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together ½ cup softened butter and ½ cup mayonnaise until creamy. Gradually fold in 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup chopped olives, and ¼ cup sliced green onions. Ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Take a sturdy loaf of French bread and slice it in half lengthwise. Lay the bread cut side up on a baking sheet, and evenly spread the cheesy topping mixture right to the edges.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once hot, place the prepared baking sheet with the stuffed bread inside. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  4. When finished baking, remove the Olive Cheese Bread from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Carefully cut the bread into slices and serve immediately.
