Cheesy Olive Garlic Bread

Submitted by Loretta in Louisiana

"I love Muffeletta mix.It comes in a jar and it is a mix of different olives, onions and peppers. It is more like a Olive Salad. Just ask your grocer. I tried Lexies Patio Bread and it was wonderful. I thought why not the Olive Muffeletta Mix. So I tried it and my DH loved it. I put a slice of bacon on one half, he loved the flavour. Use the bacon for your own preference."

This bread went "poof" as soon as I put it out. I left off the bacon and used low fat mayo. I had a jar of olive salad from New Orleans that works very well. Great on a buffet.

Very tasty & cheesy!! I happened to have a little bit of homemade olive spread leftover from making muffalettas, so I used it up in this. Served with some shrimp pasta & salad. Great side dish or appetizer!

I doubled this and put it on a pizza base and it was delicious. I was really scared it would be too salty but not at all - it was tres wonderful. I had just bought the olive spread a couple of days ago so this recipe was incredibly timely.

I have died and gone to heaven! I left out the bacon, and used cheddar since I had no moz. Grated fresh garlic instead of powder. Minced onion, fresh, instead of powder. I used Trader Joe's muffeletta mix in the small jar. This is a great recipe! Thank you for posting it!
