• 6 oz. weight Pimiento-stuffed Green Olives, roughly chopped

How To Make Pioneer Woman Olive Cheese Bread

1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by roughly chopping both the black olives and pimiento-stuffed green olives. Thinly slice the green onions.
2. Mix the Toppings: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, mayonnaise, and grated Monterey Jack cheese with the chopped olives and green onions. Stir everything together until thoroughly combined.
3. Prepare the Bread: Cut the loaf of French bread lengthwise. Spread the olive-cheese mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the bread halves.
4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly browned.
5. Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving. This delicious bread is perfect as a standalone treat or as an appetizer, cut into smaller slices. It pairs exceptionally well with a fresh green salad or as a robust side to soup or pasta dishes.

Recipe Tips

• Use Good Bread: Pick a good French bread that is crispy outside and soft inside. It makes the bread taste better.
• Butter and Cheese Should Be Soft: Make sure your butter and cheese are soft before you mix them. It’s easier to mix and spread them on the bread.
• Less Salt in Olives: If the olives taste too salty, wash them with cold water before you chop them. This makes them less salty.
• Watch the Oven: Don’t cook the bread too long. Take it out when the cheese melts and starts to turn golden. This keeps the bread from getting too dry.
• Serve It Warm: The bread tastes best when it is warm. It is great for a snack or with a salad or soup.

What To Serve With Olive Cheese Bread

How To Store Olive Cheese Bread

• In The Fridge: Let the olive cheese bread cool completely. Then wrap it in plastic or put it in a tight-sealing container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• In The Freezer: Wrap the olive cheese bread well with foil and put it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can stay frozen for 2 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.

How To Reheat Olive Cheese Bread

• In The Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bread in an oven dish, cover with foil, and warm for 15-20 minutes until hot.
• In The Microwave: Put a slice of bread in a microwave-safe dish, cover loosely with plastic, and heat on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway.
• In The Air Fryer: Turn the air fryer on and set it to 350°F (175°C). Put the bread in a container that is safe for the air fryer. Heat it for 5-10 minutes, but check it in the middle so it doesn’t get too dry or overcooked.
