Description

A quick and easy cheesy olive bread that’s ready in just about 25 minutes—perfect as a snack or appetizer.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 oz full‑fat sour cream
  • 4 Tbsp softened butter
  • 7 oz green olives, drained & sliced
  • 6 oz black olives, drained & sliced
  • 8 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 810 oz loaf French bread
  • Kosher salt & freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together sour cream, garlic powder, butter, a pinch of salt and pepper until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir in cheese and green onions until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in both green and black olives.
  5. Slice the French bread in half widthwise, then lengthwise, forming 4 pieces.
  6. Evenly spread the olive‑cheese mixture onto cut sides of the bread.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until cheese melts and edges start browning.
  8. Optionally broil 1–2 minutes until cheese turns golden and bubbly.
  9. Slice, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Shred your own Monterey Jack from a block—it melts better than pre‑shredded.
  • Slice whole olives yourself to maintain better texture.
  • Mixture can be made a day ahead (refrigerate), then spread and bake when ready.
