Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 cups Green olives (pitted)
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 1 clove Fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Cream cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should have about 18-20 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, and brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Bake the baguette slices for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the green olives, parsley, capers, garlic, lemon juice, cream cheese, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pulse until the mixture is smooth but still has some texture.
Taste the olive mixture and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Spoon or spread a generous amount of the green olive mixture onto each crostini.
Arrange the Green Olivida Crostini on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious appetizer!
