The Pioneer Womans Olive Cheese Bread {My New Addiction}

Have you ever took a bite of something and instantly thought, goodness this is the best thing I ever ate. Well, The Pioneer Womans Olive Cheese Bread is the one for me.

 I got my first taste of this delicious bread on Christmas Eve. A friend of mine made it and I was instantly hooked. I love both black and green olives so I knew this bread had to be good.

Mix in green onions and butter and this bread just becomes evil!!!!!

I cannot count how many times I have made this bread since the Christmas holiday. All I can say is that this olive cheese bread has become quite a bad habit and a new addiction for me.

 Ree, why oh why did you have to come up with such an awesome bread recipe? My thighs and back end are not thanking you one bit, but I am.

 How can I hate you, you're The Pioneer Woman for havens sakes and god love ya girl. My kids are not olive lovers, so when I prepare this bread I have to make two batches.

One with butter, cheese and mayonnaise. The second batch is the full deadly recipe minus the green onions.

 I almost hate typing that cause I love green onions but my husband hates them. Goodness I am about to move all these picky pants people right out of my house because they just don't know what taste good.
 
For everyone who has never had Ree's delicious Olive Cheese Bread the following step by step photos are for you.

Chop both the black olives and pimiento-stuffed green olives not to small. If using green onions slice into thin pieces.

Combine softened butter, mayonnaise, cheese, olives and green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir together until thoroughly combined. At this point the mixture can also be refrigerated (up to two days) and used as a dip.

With all of the olives the bread can be a bit salty. Just cut back on the amount of olives a bit and that should do the trick. A reader also suggested to rinse the olives before adding them to the butter and cheese mixture. Thank you Bill.

Spread mixture onto French bread that has been sliced lengthwise. Now don't let all that butter go scaring you, because it really does add to the awesomeness of this bread. Everything in moderation right?

Bake at 325ºF for 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and has a bit of browning on the cheese.

Look at those yummy olives and all that gooey cheese. Goodness this bread is over the top good. I can't wait for my mother in law to come down for a visit. I am so making this bread for her because I just know it's gonna knock her socks off.
