Pioneer Woman’s Olive Bread

If you follow my blog even a little bit you know how much I love watching Food Network and one of my favorite shows is the Pioneer Woman! I have made many of her recipes and I have never been disappointed as they are all so tasty! I made this recipe for the first time about four years ago and it is still a go to recipe for a special occasion or party! Mr. MCYM is not a fan of olive’s so he is not thrilled, but everyone else in the family and many of our relatives and guests just love this recipe.  I’m sure you will all enjoy it as well.  I have also made the cheese mixture the night before and kept it in the fridge until I was ready to use it thus saving some time on a busy day!

INGREDIENTS
6 ounce can of black olives, drained
6 ounce jar of pimento stuffed green olives, drained
2 scallions
1 stick of butter, room temperature
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
12 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 loaf crusty french bread, sliced lengthwise

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roughly chop both black olives and green olives. Set aside and slice the scallions into thin pieces. Combine the butter, mayonnaise, cheese, olives, and scallions in a mixing bowl and stir well until well combined. Spread the mixture onto the french bread. Bake until the cheese is melted and turning just slightly brown about 20-25 minutes.  Remove from oven, slice and serve warm!

Enjoy,
