Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 medium Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cups Black olives, sliced
- 0.5 cups Green olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
Brush the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette halves.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, sliced black olives, and sliced green olives.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the cheese mixture and toss to combine.
Divide the cheese and olive mixture evenly across the two baguette halves, pressing it slightly to adhere to the bread.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden brown edges.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Allow the bread to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing it into pieces and serving. Enjoy warm!
