Olive Cheese Bread

Ingredients: french bread, 6 oz. jar pimento stuffed green olives, 6 oz. can black olives, 2 green onions, 1 stick of butter, 1/2 c. mayonnaise, & 3/4 lb. grated Monterey Jack Cheese.

Directions:

-Chop the black & green olives.

-Slice & chop green onions into thin pieces.

-In a mixing bowl, stir softened butter, mayonaise, cheese, & olives until thoroughly combined (You can use this immediately or refrigerate up to 2 days.)

-Slice the loaf of french bread lengthwise.

-Spread the mixture evenly onto both halves of the bread. (It may look like too much but it will gradually flatten and soak into the bread while baking.)

-Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted & top turns light brown.

-Serve with a salad!
