This crowd pleasing olive cheese bread is one of my FAVORITE hot appetizer recipes to serve at parties & potlucks. It’s easy to make and always disappears with rave reviews!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8.4 oz.) Udi’s gluten-free baguettes (2 baguettes)
- 1 (6 oz) can black olives, roughly chopped
- 1 (3-5 oz) jar green olives with pimentos, roughly chopped (depending on how much you like green olives)
- 1 1/2 cup grated Monterrey Jack cheese
- 1 1/2 cup gated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 5 Tablespoons butter, softened & cut into small cubes
- 2 green onions, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (+more for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep. To start, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Set out a baking sheet and line with parchment paper or foil, if desired.
- Slice Baguettes lengthwise and open them. Place cut side up on prepared baking sheet.
- Combine Topping. In a large bowl, combine diced olives, cheeses, mayonnaise, butter, green onion, garlic, and black pepper. Stir to combine. It’ll look messy!
- Spread topping over bread. It will look like a lot!
- Bake. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until cheese is melted. Slice into wedges and serve.
Notes
Ingredient Notes & Recipe Tips:
- Baguette. If you can’t find Udi’s gluten-free baguettes, you may need to buy extra baguettes to accommodate all of the topping since many other brands are smaller than Udi’s. If you’re not gluten-free, you can use regular baguettes or a loaf of ciabatta bread instead.
- Butter. Softened, cubed butter blends in best!
To Make Ahead & Freeze:
- Assemble through step 4 above, then wrap in foil. Place in an airtight bag and freeze up to 2 months. When ready to use, remove from freezer bag, unwrap foil and bake frozen at 350 about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted. Slice into wedges and serve.
