Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 baguette (cut into slices)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, diced fine
• 2 tablespoons scallions, diced fine (whites and greens)
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, diced fine
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• pepper
• 2/3 cup green olives, diced fine (no filling like cheese or pimentos)
• 2/3 cup black olives, diced fine (i love to use a mix of kalamata and black)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, diced fine
• 1/3 cup scallion, diced fine
• 1/3 cup onion, diced fine
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Recipe

• 1 cheese -- in a small bowl, mix the feta, olive oil, parsley, scallions, basil, garlic and pepper. use a fork to mix well and then refrigerate.
• 2 olive spread -- one again, just mix all the ingredients together.
• 3 baguettes -- brush the bread or drizzle with olive oil on both sides and toast under the broiler on the second shelf. just a minute for the first side until golden brown. remove and turn over the toast. toast the other side until golden brown.
• 4 olives -- just microwave your olives. they only take 30 seconds to a minute on medium heat to get warm. if they are a bit dry, just add a little more olive oil, but you don't want too much olive oil since it is a topping for the cheese.
• 5 top -- spread each piece of the baguette with the cheese and top with the warm olive spread.
• 6 serve -- just eat and enjoy!
