Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor, combine the 1 cup olives, 2 tbsp capers, 1 garlic clove, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Pulse until coarsely chopped, about 10 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Scrape down the sides and pulse again until the mixture forms a thick paste, about 5 more seconds. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat your oven's broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Brush the bread slices with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Broil until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the toast from the oven and let cool slightly. Spread a generous spoonful of tapenade on each slice.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs if desired.
