Green onions, chopped

Bacon, crisp and crumbled

Finely chop black olives and green onions.

Mix all the ingredients together.

Slit open the French bread lengthwise and Spread the mixture on bread.

Sprinkle onions and crumbled bacon over the spread.

Bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.

Enjoy the delicate taste of the herbs and spices along with some crispy bacon and green onion.

2.Another option with Veggies and Cottage Cheese

Ingredients:

Four Bread Slices

1/2 cup grated Cottage cheese

One large Onion

Five pods of Garlic

1/2 cup Butter

One large Tomato

One Capsicum (bell pepper, any color)

One Green Chilly

1/2 cup grated Mozzarella Cheese

Method:

Mash the Garlic into paste and mix this paste with the Butter. Cut the Onion, Tomato, Chilly and Capsicum to small pieces.

Take a Bread Slice or the Italian bread and apply the Garlic Butter mix on it. Now spread the grated cottage cheese on the Bread Slice. Put the pieces of Onion, Tomato, Chilly and Capsicum on the top. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese.

Preheat the oven to 170 degree Celsius for 3 minutes. Put the prepared bread in it and heat for approximately 5 minutes.

As soon as the Cheese bubbles and it starts to turn brown, remove and place in a serving dish.

Enjoy the healthy snack anytime of the day.
