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.
Step 2
Scrape down the sides and pulse again until the mixture forms a thick paste, about 5 more seconds. Set aside.
Step 3
Preheat your oven's broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
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.
Step 5
Remove the toast from the oven and let cool slightly. Spread a generous spoonful of tapenade on each slice.
Step 6
Serve immediately, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs if desired.
