Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the olive cheese melts.

Prepare Bread: Take the sliced French bread or sandwich rolls and evenly spread the olive cheese mixture over each piece.

To achieve a crispier top, broil instead of baking, but watch closely to prevent burning.
