Garlic Bread with Olives and Greek Flavors
Need a quick appetizer or light meal to feed holiday guests? This pretty Garlic Bread with Olives and Greek Flavors will do the trick! It's easy, uses ingredients that you can almost always have on-hand, comes together quick and is deliciously different!
I get excited by new ideas and flavor combinations when it comes to food and this easy dish did not disappoint!
Thanks to Mezzetta Olives, this dish comes together in a snap and is full of flavor and quality ingredients and would make a fantastic holiday recipe.
Every year my husband and I arrange for someone to take our kids for 3-5 hours while we sort and wrap their holiday gifts. We play music or put on a movie, have wine or cocktails and I make us a great nibble to fuel us as we plat Santa. This Garlic Bread with Olives and Greek Flavors is exactly like something I would make. So I will make this again for our ho-ho-hoing this year. Sure wrapping like a lunatic is crazy, yet it's also fun! It's an annual window of time that belongs only to my husband and I and I kinda love that! I sure will miss it when it comes to an end!

Garlic Bread With Olives & Greek Flavors
Ingredients
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread
- ½ cup melted butter
- 6 large garlic cloves minced
- Kosher salt & pepper
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup sliced Mezzetta Green Olives
- 1 cup slices Mezzetta Kalamata Olives
- 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- Greek Seasoning
- 2 TBS olive or grapeseed oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice off the top quarter of your ciabatta bread (reserve top to make breadcrumbs or croutons).
- Combine melted butter, garlic, Kosher salt & black pepper. Mix well and allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so.
- Liberally coat the top of your bread with the butter-garlic mixture.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the oven, sprinkle with ½ the parsley, followed by the olives and then return it to the oven for 4-5 minutes or until bread is crisped on the perimeter yet still soft in the middle.
- Sprinkle loaf with Feta, and remaining parsley.
- Shake some Greek seasoning over-top.
- Drizzle with your oil/seasoning mixture (which you can whip up while bread is baking), slice and serve.
If I could get through the screen that would be mine.
I just love all of these flavors. I could eat that whole loaf!
Garlic bread topped with brine-y olives sounds like a great snack for a little date time.
That's a sweet tradition you share with your hubs. Mine usually lets me do all the work, and boy I could use some of these fun breads to keep me going. I love olives!
I do love it!! So funny just had "the talk" with the oldest and his first reaction was "do you get all the stuff the night before??" I was like nooooo! Then he said "where do you put it all"? I was like THAT is a mom's secret lol! Good snacking is essential to being a good Santa's helper 😉
Oooh, I'll bet these are amazing. My husband isn't a big olive fan, but I love them. Guess I'll have to make these all for myself then?! lol
Oooooh, I want this! I could gladly even eat this or breakfast right now!
Oh my gosh, this is so gorgeous - I can almost taste it through the screen! Such an awesome use of olives - perfect for holiday guests.
My husband would go CRAZY over this garlic bread. He is obsessed with olives and would devour this whole thing in one sitting.
My kinda guy!
That garlic bread needs to be made this month - what a perfect recipe for entertaining!
Enjoy!!
Gotta make this for my dad! He loves olives and I know he'd be all over this!
Oh my gosh, this is stellar. Nothing better than garlic bread with olives. And I adore Mezzetta Olives, their products are just amazing.
Dude. My mouth is seriously watering. My husband broke the last bottle of the garlic stuffed olives in the house last week and I'm dying here. Off to the store for me, I have my lunch planned now!
Move over! I could eat those olives every day and you made them so special. This looks fantastic!
THESE PICS ARE GORGEOUS
Wow! What flavors! This bread looks over the top awesome.
WOW this looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Looks delish!
LOVE THIS. Olives are a staple in our house as my husband is Middle Eastern, so this fits right in. Nice recipe!
I can't even take it. All my favorite things in one place!
