Warm, cheesy, and loaded with savory olives, this bread is everything you need to impress your guests. It’s the kind of appetizer that disappears in minutes, leaving everyone asking for the recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf French bread, halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped black olives
  • 1/2 cup chopped green olives
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place the halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in the chopped black olives, green olives, and green onions. Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Season the mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Taste-test the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  6. Using a spatula, generously spread the cheese and olive mixture over the cut sides of the bread. Make sure to cover every inch for maximum flavor.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. If you prefer a crispier top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes—just be sure to watch it closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into smaller pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use good-quality ingredients like freshly grated Parmesan and sharp cheddar for maximum flavor. Drain and pat dry the olives to avoid a watery mixture. Broil for a golden, bubbly crust.
