Olive Herb Cheese Bread

Crisp French bread topped with garlicky aioli, sharp Asiago, and a herby olive tapenade. Toasted edges crackle, cheese glosses rather than melts. Bright Mediterranean notes from fresh basil in tapenade twist the classic olive-parm combo. Quick to assemble, relying on visual cues — golden crust, shiny cheeses. Swap Asiago for aged Pecorino or Romano depending on fridge stock and salt tolerance. Aioli’s garlic punch balances olive brine with fresh herbs adding complexity. Works as appetizer or side.
