Ingredients
  • 4 slices Baguette or Rustic Bread
  • 1/2 cup Olive Tapenade
  • 2 oz Goat Cheese (optional)
  • 4 leaves Fresh Basil Leaves (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Prepare the Bread

Lightly brush each slice of baguette or rustic bread with olive oil. This will help it toast evenly and add a subtle flavor.

Toast the Bread

Toast the bread slices in a toaster oven, under a broiler, or in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Assemble the Tartines

Spread a generous layer of olive tapenade onto each toasted bread slice. If using goat cheese, crumble it over the tapenade.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
