Olive Cheese Bread
A savory appetizer that combines rich flavors of olives, creamy cheese, and a bit of Sriracha, all nestled in toasted French bread.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread (14 inches long) For best results, use fresh French bread.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened) Make sure it's softened for easy mixing.
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha Adjust according to spice preference.
- 6 ounces sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives (drained)

- 2 stalks green onions (diced)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the French bread in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop out some bread from the center of each half to create a shallow well.
- Place the bread halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, softened butter, and Sriracha. Mix until smooth.
- Add the green olives, black olives, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and diced green onions to the mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
- Divide the mixture between the two halves of bread, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into 2-inch portions.
