BEACH BREAD

Restaurant: PierSide Grill and Famous Blowfish Bar

Serves 1-2

¼ loaf French bread 2 ounces garlic butter 1 ounce bleu cheese 2½ ounces shredded cheddar ½ ounce onion, julienned (about 8 pieces) 1 thickly cut tomato slice, diced 1½ ounces shredded mozzarella ¾ ounce chopped green olives

Cut French bread in half lengthwise, then in half again crosswise. Spread the following evenly over the bread: garlic butter, bleu cheese crumbs, half of the cheddar, onion, diced tomato, mozzarella, olives and the remaining cheddar. Press toppings onto the bread to form a seal. Bake in a convection oven at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes. Great to dip in marinara sauces. (Or wrap bread tightly and store for later, up to two days.)
