Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup grated pepper Jack cheese (4 ounces)
1/2 cup pitted green olives
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 loaf Italian bread, halved lengthwise

Steps:

Prepare a medium-high grill or preheat the broiler.
Combine the pepper Jack cheese, olives, butter, cream cheese, and garlic powder in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Slather the cheese mixture over the cut halves of bread and sandwich the halves together.
Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and place on the grill or, if broiling, under the broiler. Grill or broil, 4 inches from the heat, turning once, for 10 to 15 minutes total, or until the edges of the bread are crisp and golden and the cheese mixture is melted. Slice the bread and serve hot.
