Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Olive Cheese Bread

If you haven’t jumped on the air fryer bandwagon yet, what are you waiting for? This little appliance can do wonders in the kitchen, and today we’re going to show you how to make olive cheese bread. The great thing about this recipe is that it only requires a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. So without further ado, let’s get started!

Olives: Use Green Olives or Black Olives, or a combination of the two.
Bread: French or Italian Bread, work best, although you could use sourdough bread, which also holds its shape!
Butter: Use room temperature, unsalted butter.
Mayonnaise: Use regular or low-fat.
Shredded Cheese: Use any of your favorite cheese, such as shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, or a blend of cheeses.
Scallions: You can easily omit them.

How To Make Air Fryer Olive Cheese Bread

In a medium-sized bowl, add the sliced green olives and sliced black olives, and sliced scallions.

In a large mixing bowl, blend the room temperature butter and mayonnaise and fold in the olive mixture.

Cut the French or Italian bread in half. Set one-half of the bread into the air fryer for 4 minutes at 300 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Spread the mixture onto the toasted bread, and then place back into the air fryer for another 5-8 minutes at 300 degrees F. Add the cheese on top, and then remove it when the cheese is melted, and the bread is golden brown.

Pro Tips:

Freshly Shredded Cheese: The pre-shredded cheese in your grocery store is coated with wood pulp. for best results buy a block and shred them yourself to make the most delicious Olive Cheese Bread ever!

Buy Whole Olives: Although they sell sliced olives, I find that they are often oversoaked, so for a great olive bread, buy whole olives and slice them yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use low-fat sour cream and cheese?

Yes, it will not change the texture of your bread, and it will make it a tad bit healthier. You can also use 1/2 full fat and 1/2 low fat, for either the mayonnaise or the sour cream or both!

What kind of bread works best for this recipe?

When I want to make my favorite snacks in no time, there’s nothing better than pulling out a stale baguette from the freezer. We actually stock up at Trader Joe’s on their frozen baguettes for this recipe!

But you can use any of your favorite loaves, Italian or French Bread works well, and makes it really easy to eat!

You can use any of your favorite olives for this recipe. I love using a blend, but you can use all green or all black. The recipe will work the same, remember to use the same amount.
