A delightful twist on a classic, this recipe combines the savory flavors of olives and cheese into a deliciously baked toast.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Roughly chop the black olives and green onions.
Chopping the ingredients evenly ensures a consistent flavor in every bite.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped olives, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and softened butter. Mix until well combined.
Ensure the butter is soft for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and spread the mixture evenly over the cut sides.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly for consistent baking.
Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check the bread towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
Slice the baked bread into serving-sized pieces and serve warm.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
