Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 large (minced) Garlic cloves
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.333 cup (chopped) Black olives
• 0.333 cup (chopped) Green olives
• 2 tablespoons (fresh, chopped) Parsley
• 1 teaspoon (dried) Oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 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.

Step 8

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

Step 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.

Step 10

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