Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • 4 oz small black olives from a can chopped
  • 5 oz garlic stuffed olives from a jar chopped
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temp
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 8 oz block Monterey jack cheese shredded
  • 1 loaf un-sliced Italian bread*

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients, except the bread, in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Slice bread loaf in half and place on large baking sheet, cut side up. Evenly spread mixture on the two halves.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until golden, crusty and bubbly. Remove from oven. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • *The size loaf varies based on what I can find in the bakery. I don’t use the long skinny loaf. It’s typically a wider loaf. Sometimes there may be too much spread, which is fine because the leftover spread makes a great dip. Other times it’s the perfect amount and I have none leftover. I load it on the bread.
