Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of French bread
- 8 tablespoons margarine
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (optional, or to taste)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for the perfect toasty garlic bread.
-
Prepare the Bread: Take the loaf of French bread and slice it horizontally through the middle, creating two long halves. These will act as your “boats” for the savory spread.
-
Arrange the Bread: Place the cut sides of the bread facing up on a jelly roll pan or in a large casserole dish. For an alternative grilling method, you can place the bread in a foil “boat” if you prefer grilling over baking.
-
Make the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the margarine and mayonnaise until well-blended. Add the finely chopped green onions, sliced black olives, and shredded mozzarella cheese. For extra flavor, incorporate garlic salt and seasoning salt to taste—don’t be shy, as these will enhance the overall taste.
-
Spread the Mixture: Using a spatula, generously spread the prepared mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves. Make sure to cover every inch to ensure each bite is bursting with flavor.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. The bread should be golden brown and the cheese melted to perfection.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the Greek Garlic Bread from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing into pieces. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, cheesy, and slightly tangy flavors.
