Ingredients
Instructions

- Arrange the slices flat onto a cookie sheet and set aside.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try mixing in some cream cheese with the mayonnaise. If you want to add a bit of spice, consider incorporating diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. For a vegetarian twist, replace the Parmesan cheese with a plant-based alternative. Adjust the amount of olives based on your preference, as they can be quite salty.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover onion breads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the bread soggy.
