French Bread Spread

Here's a different take on garlic/cheese bread for lovers of black olives. This is a recipe I've tweaked from one I found in a Junior League cookbook.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 8  tablespoons butter, softened
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
• 1⁄2 cup  grated cheddar cheese
• 1⁄4 cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped fresh chives
• 1 (3 1/2ounce) can  sliced black olives, drained
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  garlic salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 (16 ounce)  French bread, sliced in 1 inch slices

Directions

1. Combine butter and mayonnaise and stir until well combined; stir in the grated cheeses, chives, black olives, garlic salt and pepper.
2. Preheat broiler.
3. Spread one side of each slice of bread thickly with butter mixture; lay the slices spread side up on a cookie sheet and slide under the broiler until the edges are brown, watching carefully to as not to burn the bread.
4. Serve warm.
