Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the green olives, black olives, shredded pepper jack cheese (reserving 1/2 cup), and parsley. Mix to combine.
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup Mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp Garlic powder, 1/4 tsp Black pepper, 6 oz Pimento-stuffed green olives, 6 oz Black olives, 1/2 cup Fresh parsley, 8 oz Pepper Jack cheese
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Scoop out a shallow well on the surface of each piece of bread. Divide and spread the filling evenly between each bread half. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over each half.
1 loaf French bread
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then slice into 1-inch pieces.

Yes, you can rough chop the olives if you don’t want to take the time to slice them yourself.
If you are sensitive to salt, cut the amount of green olives in half.
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days. Warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
