Ingredients
>
1 (6 oz) jar Nature's Promise ® Pitted Green Olives, drained
>
1/2 cup giardiniera, drained
>
1 large baguette, sliced scant 1/2-inch thick
>
3 tbsp olive oil
>
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
>
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Steps
1
In a food processor, pulse the olives and giardiniera until very finely chopped.
2
Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the baguette slices on a rimmed baking sheet and brush tops with the oil. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake 15–20 min., until bread is well toasted and cheese is golden.
3
To serve, spoon the olive mixture onto each toast and drizzle with vinegar.
Tips
The olive mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 2 days. The cheese toasts can be made up to 1 day ahead, then cooled and left at room temperature in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving.
