If you've never made olive cheese bread before, I hope this simple recipe becomes a go-to in your rotation.
I love this recipe because it's cheesy, salty, and super easy to make when you're having guests over. It only requires four ingredients!
What You Need To Make Olive Cheese Bread
This recipe only has four ingredients, which makes it super simple to whip up the next time you have friends over. You can read and print the full recipe below, but here's what you'll need to gather:
- A baguette (sliced)
- Black and green pitted olives
- Monterey jack cheese
- Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Why Philadelphia Cream Cheese, you ask? Because it’s made with fresh milk, real cream, and no preservatives. I always have some on hand and nothing else tastes like it!
Other easy appetizers recipes I love using Philadelphia Cream Cheese in are these herb stuffed peppers and these mini cheese balls.
I use a food processor to turn the whole black and green olives into the perfectly diced olive confetti.
In a bowl, combine the diced olives, monterey jack cheese, and Philadelphia Cream Cheese and mix well. You can continue making the appetizer, or prepare the spread ahead of time and store (covered) in the refrigerator until you're ready to make the apps.
When ready, spread olive mixture onto small sliced of bread (about 1 tablespoon for each piece). Top with a little shredded monterey jack cheese. Pop them into an oven preheated at 350 degrees and bake for 10 minutes.
These olive bread bites are great to serve to a crowd. Pass a tray around and everyone will be happy. The saltiness of the olives pairs perfectly with the natural and fresh taste of the cream cheese. So delicious!
