• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.333 cup (chopped) Black olives

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed.

4. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly across the cut sides of each baguette half.

5. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over each baguette half, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

6. Evenly distribute the chopped black olives and green olives across the cheese layer.

7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

8. For an extra crispy and golden top, broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.

9. Remove the Cheesy Olive Garlic Bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.

10. Using a sharp knife, slice the bread into individual serving pieces and serve immediately.
