Oh my gosh this reminds me of a spread we used to make for the holidays growing up. We added bacon and spread them on little rye toasts. Oh my heaven! Definitely going to have to try this dip!
Twenty minutes after I read the recipe I was waiting for my oven timer to buzz at exactly midnight. I slid my 8” iron skillet into the oven for a few minutes as I mixed the ingredients. I had to speed the heat-up process. I couldn’t wait to taste this dip. The aroma of the brine from the olives was more than I could take. I gulped it down, then drank dill pickle juice from the jar while I waited for the ooey gooey cheesy cloud in my oven to reach the perfect bubbling point! I woke my recovering from surgery, tired and sore husband from a peaceful sleep to share this ambrosia. Did I mention he LOVES all things olive? This is no exception. I didn’t even have to apologize for waking him in his delicate condition! He savored every bite with chips and a smile, said ‘wake me for this anytime.’ This olive dip is fantabulous. It came out of the oven with an almost soufflé quality. That mixed with the gooiness of the cheese made it look like heaven. I wonder how many thousand times I will serve this. Here it is 3:30 in the morning and I just had to have a little more. I had mine with crackers It would be really good on toasted baguette slices. Thank you for the recipe!
