You can watch me make this recipe in the video below:
Begin pre-heating your oven to 325°(F).
Take a loaf of Ciabatta bread and split in down the middle. You can use French bread or Italian bread, but I love the way Ciabatta bread gets such a fantastic “crunch” when it is baked. Place it on a baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine room temperature butter and mayonnaise. Whisk those together until smooth.
Add in shredded Mozzarella and Feta cheeses.
Roughly chop up a cup of olives. I prefer to use half green and half Kalamata or black olives, but you can use whatever favorite you have. Add those to the bowl.
Also add half a teaspoon of garlic powder. Give it all a stir.
Stir it all together and then divide between the two halves of the loaf.
Spread it all the way to the edges of the bread.
Now my husband has a thing for spicy, so I stuck some jalapeño slices on one end of the bread….this is totally optional for you.
Stick the pan in the oven and bake this for 20 minutes.
After it has baked, turn on your broiler and broil it for a short time: just until you get a little bit of golden brown on the top of the cheese. Watch your bread carefully because this happens fast!!! It will probably only take about 2 minutes, tops.
Now look at how pretty this is!
Let this cool a couple minutes and then cut it into slices.
This is so incredibly hearty that you can have this all by itself or pair it with a salad and call it a meal.
Enjoy!
