  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 8 oz package shredded cheese I like Mexican blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil so that foil overlaps cookie sheet on all sides.

  4. Slice green onions; set aside.
  5. In medium bowl, mix together butter, mayonnaise and pepper until well blended.
  6. Mix in olives and green onions.

  7. Mix in shredded cheese.

  8. Stuff olive mixture into bread, working into all the spaces.
  9. Cover loaf with foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  10. Unwrap loaf. Bake additional 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melty and bubbly. Serve immediately.
