Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Spanish green olives (pitted and finely chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 loaf Baguette (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 10 whole Spanish olives (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each slice with olive oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped Spanish olives, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Using a small spatula or knife, spread a generous layer of the olive cream cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Garnish each canapé with a slice of Spanish olive on top for a finished look.
Arrange the canapés on a serving platter and serve immediately. They can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.
