Feta Cheese and Olive Pull Apart Bread

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 loaf sourdough bread

  (you will need a round, crusty, delicious, unsliced loaf)
• 1/3 cup feta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup diced olives
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 6 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp za'atar

  (see notes for substitution)
• Extra sliced olives
• Fresh dill, and thyme

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 400°
• 2 First, slice the sourdough bread. Using a serrated knife slice 1″ vertical
  strips through the bread 3/4 of the way down. Be sure to not fully slice the
  bread, you want to keep the loaf intact. Once you've cut vertical strips across
  the entire loaf, slice 1″ horizontal strips across the bread. You will then have
  1″ cubes of bread, still intact, and perfect little pockets ready for stuffing
  with deliciousness.
• 3 In a medium-size bowl combine crumbled feta cheese, shredded
  mozzarella (reserving a small handful for the top) sliced olives, crushed
  garlic, and fresh dill. Stir until well combined. 
• 4 Melt butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk

• 5 Place your bread on a large baking sheet [https://abraskitchen.com/v83m].
  Prepare the bread by first pouring half of the butter mixture over the bread,
  separating the cubes a bit to get the butter in between. 
• 6 Next stuff the feta olive mixture between the cubes. I find that hands work best
  here. Really try to get the mixture dispersed evenly among the cubes. 
• 7 Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella on top and cover the bread with the remainder
  of the butter mixture.
• 8 Bake in the oven for 18 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is
  lightly browned. 
• 9 Top with extra sliced olives, fresh dill, and fresh thyme. Serve hot.
