Ashley's Olive Cheese Bread

OLIVE CHEESE BREAD

One 14.5 ounce can whole black olive (drained)
One 6 ounce jar pimiento-stuffed green olives (drained)
2 green onions
1 stick (1/4 pound) butter, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 pound Monterey Jack Cheese, grated
1 loaf crusty French Bread

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Chop the olives roughly, until most of the large pieces are broken up.
Slice the green onions, then chop them roughly.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, mayo, cheese, chopped olives and onions.
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Spread the olive cheese mixture in an even layer on each half.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese mix is totally melted and beginning to turn light brown and bubbly. Cut into slices and serve immediately.

** I think that next time I would use 3 french bread halves (1 1/2 loaves). There was so much on top of 2 halves that it was spilling over, luckily that didn't take away from the taste :) **
