How to Make Mexican Style Garlic Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or prepare your grill.
  2. Slice a loaf of your favorite bread lengthwise in half.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives.
  4. Add your desired amount of finely chopped jalapeños (start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust to your spice preference). Mix well to combine.
  5. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over both halves of the bread.
  6. Drizzle generously with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  7. **Oven Method:** Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. **Grill Method:** Place the bread directly on the grill grates (or on heavy-duty foil) and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Grill marks add a nice touch!
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
