Olive Cheese Bread
January 9, 2012 in breads
I’m not sure if you guys have noticed but I haven’t really been in a sugary mood lately. (Which is a complete lie because I killed a box of Confetti Cake Pop Tarts in less than 24 hours this weekend. But I just don’t feel like making anything sugary.) So I’m going to apologize in advance if this week is a little more savory than you’re used to. Let’s blame all the Christmas cookies.
This is one of my all-time favorite breads but I very rarely make it because I am cheap and olives… well, they’re not. I found myself with an extra can recently and knew what they were destined for.
I can’t even begin to describe the amazingness of this bread. It’s cheesy and crunchy and salty. It’s pure heaven. Monterey Jack is one of my least favorite cheeses but it works here with the olives. I’ve also used mozzarella in this and it’s just as good.
My kids won’t eat olives so I normally halve this recipe and then use the other half of the bread for cheesy garlic bread. Perfect for spaghetti nights!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine butter, mayonnaise, cheese, olives and green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir together until thoroughly combined. Spread mixture onto French bread that has been sliced lengthwise. Bake at 325F for 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and browning.
This bread sounds so yummy! Big fan right here :)
Oh my heck. I would make this but I would have to eat it all by myself since no one else in my family likes olives. Hmmm…I need to make this.
Oh yum!! Love the olives and cheese combo!
Ok, now this is really starting to get weird! Just made this last night – but, I used the green olives as well. Diddn’t like it – waaay to salty! And, I love salt. Will try it again with just the black. It looks soo good!
That’s so funny! :P Maybe rinsing the olives before you chop them would help remove some of that salt?
NOTHING wrong with savory, especially when it includes bread. This looks perfect!
This is a fave of mine – I did a lightened up version that saved some calories and was still to die for. Thinking I need to make it again soon!
How can anyone go wrong with olives, bread and cheese – - I MUST make this a-sap. I think this is calling my name for dinner tonight!!
Olives, cheese and carbs – three things that when put together would not be unfortunate!! YUM!
cheese and bread, perfect. I simple LOVE bread I recently made focaccia with black olives and now I’m regreting that I didn’t add cheese
I love olives – I could eat them by the can! I have turned my 6 year old into an olive fiend too – can’t wait to make this with him. My hubby will not come within 6 feet of it, so more for us!
