Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

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.
