This delicious French bread pizza recipe is an old family favorite, shared by my wife’s grandmother Genevieve who lived to be 100 years old! It’s an easy recipe for cheese bread that’s perfect for any football party or as a quick appetizer at any gathering.
Unlike traditional pizza recipes, this uses a French bread loaf as the base. It’s then topped with a savory and cheesy mix of black olives, mayonnaise, green onions, Dijon mustard, Cheddar, Pepper Jack and Swiss.
This recipe just takes 15 minutes to bake, and is perfect for a last-minute appetizer!
