Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
½ cup black olives, pitted and chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup additional shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped green and black olives, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dip mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the additional shredded cheddar cheese.

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
