Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf french bread, halved lengthwise
  • 1½ cups mixed olives
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Boursin round I used the chive and shallot flavor
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated plus extra for topping
  • ½ cup Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded plus extra for topping
  • kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Rough chop the olives and add to a medium-sized mixing bowl with the green onion and set aside.
  • Using a food processor, whip the ricotta and Boursin together until they are light and fluffy. Add this to the bowl of olives along with the parmesan and Monterrey Jack cheeses.
  • Mix the olive/cheese mixture well. Add a healthy pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Spread the mixture evenly over the bread halves. Add a little extra parmesan and Monterrey jack cheese to the bread halves. Don't be shy. Measure that extra sprinkle with your heart.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated 350° oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melted.
  • If you would like to add a little color to the cheese, simply let the bread hang out under the broiler for just a few minutes at the end.
  • Attempt to let the bread cool down just a bit. Because it's hot. Slice and enjoy!
