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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Brush the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette halves.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, sliced black olives, and sliced green olives.

Step 6

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the cheese mixture and toss to combine.

Step 7

Divide the cheese and olive mixture evenly across the two baguette halves, pressing it slightly to adhere to the bread.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing it into pieces and serving. Enjoy warm!
