French Bread Spread

By Beefman-2

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.

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 1/2 ounce) 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

Preparation

Step 1

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.
