Serves: 50 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup 146g / 5.1ozGreen olives with pimentos - chopped fine
1/2 cup 73g / 2.6ozBlack olives - chopped fine
1/2 cup 118mlMayonnaise
3/4 cup 109g / 3.8ozParmesan cheese - grated
2   Tabasco sauce
  Garlic
  Butter
  White bread

Recipe Instructions

Mix olives, mayonnaise, cheese, and Tabasco. Saute garlic in butter. Remove crusts from bread. Cut bread into diamond or round shapes. Toast one side of rounds of bread.

Dip the other side in melted garlic butter. Spread buttered side with olive mixture. Top each piece with a slice of green olive, if desired. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until bubbly. Can be frozen before baking.

The canapes can also be formed into mini-quiches by cutting pie crust pastry into rounds, placing in mini-muffin tins, brushing with a small amount of garlic butter (don't overdo it), and filling with olive mixture. Bake at 350F until bubbly.
