Ingredients
  

  • 2 12- inch loaves of baguette
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup sliced Mediterranean olives

Garlic Butter:

  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Herb Oil:

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Slice the baguette loaves in half lengthwise.
  • Mix the garlic butter ingredients together, then spread evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
  • Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until the bread is lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and sliced olives. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes to get the top golden and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, slice into pieces, and drizzle with the herb oil mixture.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Prep the garlic butter and chop the parsley and olives ahead of time. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  • Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free bread (I recommend BFree Gluten-Free Demi Baguettes). For extra crunch, broil the buttered bread before adding the cheese!
