Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cup pitted black olives from Spain
  • 1 TBS capers
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • blue cheese crumbles
  • crusty bread

Instructions
 

  • Toast thick slices of bread and cut into squares.
  • Using your fingers or a butter knife, stuff ¼ cup black olives with blue cheese. Set aside.
  • Combine the remaining ¾ cup olives, capers, garlic, lemon juice and in food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Slowly add olive oil and pulse to combine, until a chunky paste forms. Season with salt and pepper, as needed. (You won't need much because the cheese and olives have a naturally salty flavor.)
  • Spread toast squares with blue cheese, then top with a layer of olive tapenade. Finish each with an olive stuffed with blue cheese.
