Olive Cheese Bread

I found this olive cheese bread from Pioneer Woman, and knew I had to make it!! I love olives, cheese and bread so much, i knew it had to be good! 

*Recommendation- I love olives, green and black, but it made the bread a little salty for my liking, so I would recommend using half of the black and green olives it calls for.

Ingredients

1 loaf of French/Italian bread 

6 oz. of green olives with Pimientos (use half if you don't want it as salty)

6 oz. of black olives (again use half, if you prefer)

2 green onions

1 stick of butter, room temperature

1/2 c mayonnaise

1 1/2 c grated Monterey Jack Cheese

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Roughly the black and green olives, and thinly slice the 2 green onions.

Combine the room temperature butter, mayo, cheese, olives and onions in a mixing bowl. Stir together until combined.

Slice your bread lengthwise, and put on a baking sheet.

Spread mixture on top of sliced bread. Use all of the mixture, it will look like a lot but will melt into the bread.

Bake on 325 degrees for about 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.

Slice up into pieces, and enjoy!
