Ingredients

Tapenade Ingredients

1 cup pitted Kalamata olives chopped
1 cup pitted green olives chopped
2 tablespoons capers drained
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
1 teaspoon fresh oregano chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Crostini Ingredients

1 baguette French bread sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2 Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
3 Bake the baguette slices for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
4 In a food processor, combine the Kalamata olives, green olives, capers, garlic, lemon juice, thyme, oregano, and black pepper.
5 Pulse the mixture until coarsely chopped and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
6 While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture comes together into a chunky paste.
7 Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice or pepper if needed.
8 Spread a generous amount of the tapenade over each crostini slice.
9 Arrange the Mediterranean Olive Tapenade Crostini on a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
