Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Olive Cheese Bread
  1. Begin your Olive Cheese Bread adventure by roughly chopping the black and pimento-stuffed green olives and slicing the green onions thinly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, mayonnaise, and grated Monterey Jack cheese. Add in the chopped olives and sliced green onions, stirring until the mixture is creamy and well-blended.
  3. Slice the French bread in half lengthwise, ensuring the cut sides are facing up. Place the bread halves on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Spread the creamy cheese and olive mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
  5. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and carefully place the baking tray inside. Bake the Olive Cheese Bread for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and lightly browned on top.
  6. Once baked, remove the Olive Cheese Bread from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Slice into manageable pieces and serve while warm.
