1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cups (about 5 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar
¾ cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
½ tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 baguette (14 inches) or another smaller crusty loaf
½ cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. 2. In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the onion, stirring often, for 8 minutes or until soft but not brown. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more. 3. In a bowl, combine the cheddar, olives, vinegar, Worcestershire, pepper, and the onion mixture. Taste for seasoning and add salt, if you like. 4. Split the bread. Set it, cut sides up, on the baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 6 minutes or until lightly crusty. 5. Spread the cheese mixture on the bread and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake the bread for 20 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns lightly golden. 6. Let the bread sit for 5 minutes. Use a serrated knife to slice 1-inch-wide pieces. Sprinkle with parsley.
