My mum makes this amazing olive bread, that is lactose free and tastes so perfect, just toasted with a thick smear of butter on it. I cannot imagine anything better for an easy snack. But this cheesy olive garlic bread is great as a side to soups or even a huge plate of pasta.
This recipe is so easy to make and comes together in minutes. All you need is a large loaf of crusty bread.
