    Olive Cheese Bread!  – you just can’t go wrong with olives in almost anything in my book!

    Olive Cheese Bread

    Vegan Olive Cheese Bread

    I have a confession to make. I really love cooking shows on tv – they’re actually some of my favorite programs to watch. Competition shows like Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen and Cupcake Wars are really fun to watch – to me… I guess I’m just a true foodie through and through!

    The other day I was watching The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. She made an Olive Cheese Bread that looked so delicious. Since I’m such an olive lover, I was inspired to put my own twist on it and try to make a vegan appetizer version.

    This vegan Olive Cheese Bread would be a perfect appetizer for a New Year’s Eve party or any get-together. It’s such a colorful and tasty treat with 3 kinds of olives, roasted red peppers, green onions and vegan mozzarella shreds – an olive lover’s delight!

    I lived with a family a few years ago who hated olives. Before that time, this was a very foreign concept to me. I guess I always thought that everyone loved olives as much as I do. So, I’ve come to the conclusion that olives must be a love/hate thing!

    3 varieties of olives, roasted red peppers & green onions

    So, this recipe for the vegan version of Olive Cheese Bread is only for olive lovers – but I’m quite sure there are a lot of those and the haters are few and far between!

    Olive lovers unite for this yummy treat!!

    To Make:

    For this appetizer, I used a baguette for the bread. I cut the baguette into some 1/2″ slices and also some pieces cut in 5″ lengths that I cut in half lengthwise. I then spread the olive cheese mixture generously on the pieces of baguette and put them on a baking sheet to bake.  After they came out of the oven, I cut the 5″ lengths into smaller appetizer size pieces. 

    I think a baguette is the perfect appetizer size bread and it also has a great crunch after being in the oven without getting too hard.

    *Update* – After making my appetizers I had a little of the spread leftover in the refrigerator and I discovered that it makes a delicious spread for toast and also a great sandwich spread – Yum!  Enjoy all my olive loving friends!
