This Olive Cheese Bread is the ultimate savory treat — a golden, crispy loaf topped with a gooey blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, savory green and black olives, and a hint of garlic and herbs. Perfect for parties, game day, or a quick cheesy snack, this easy-baked appetizer delivers Mediterranean flair in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French bread, sliced lengthwise

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives

  • 1/2 cup sliced green olives (pimento-stuffed preferred)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, softened butter, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.

  3. Fold in shredded cheeses, black and green olives, and half of the chopped parsley.

  4. Spread the mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

  5. Place bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden top.

  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining parsley, and slice into pinwheel-style pieces.

  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to the cheese mixture.

  • Can be prepped ahead and baked just before serving.

 

  • Great as a side with soup or salad.
