However, it’s not something normally eaten “in the morning” as a measured half‑cup health drink or tonic—it’s a bread dish/side or snack at meals or gatherings.
If you mean how to serve or eat it in the morning (for example as part of breakfast), here’s a clear explanation:
🍞 What Olive Monkey Bread Is
-
Bite‑sized bread pieces coated with olive‑oil, oregano, garlic and mixed olives, sometimes with feta or mozzarella.
-
It’s savory, warm, and pull‑apart—great for sharing.
🕐 Eating It in the Morning
If all you want is “half a cup of this in the morning,” that simply means:
1. Measure a half cup portion:
Use a measuring cup to scoop about ½ cup of the pull‑apart bread pieces once it’s cooked and cooled slightly. There’s no special health significance unless some recipe notes say otherwise.
2. Serve it warm or room temperature:
You can warm a small portion (microwave or oven) before eating.
3. Pair it with something:
Since Olive Monkey Bread is savory and bread‑like, it goes nicely with:
-
Eggs or an omelette
-
Greek yogurt + olives/herbs
-
Hummus or labneh on the side
…whatever makes sense for a nutritious breakfast.
🧠 Important Note
Bread isn’t usually portioned by half‑cup for health advice (like a drink or tonic might be). If you’re asking because someone recommended eating ½ cup daily for health benefits, that advice likely comes from something else (like a specific ingredient or mixture), not from a savory bread like this.
