Appetizer? Lunch? Dinner?

from Tina Griffith

You decide. This recipe is easy to prepare and a favorite with my husband and me. We usually add a crisp salad and Voila! we have a complete dinner in a flash. Of course a bottle of red wine adds to the festivities.

CHEESY OLIVE BREAD
1 large crusty loaf French bread
1 – 6 oz. can pitted black olives, drained and sliced
⅓ cup red onion, chopped fine
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ – ¾ cup mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 325° F.

Cut bread in half lengthwise and then in half across the width.  You now have four pieces, tops and bottoms. Set them onto an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet.

Add olives, onions, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and mayo into a medium size bowl.  Mix together thoroughly. Use a spatula to smear the mixture onto the white part of the bread. 

 Now pop it into the oven.  That's it.  When the cheese melts, 15 – 20 minutes, the bread is ready.
