I love olive
tapenade. I work part time at a
restaurant that makes the yummiest
tapenade. We use to have an appetizer on the menu called olive bread, and it was one of my very favorite things. I wasn't sure exactly how to make the
tapenade but this is my shot at it, and I think it turned out great. Next time I might put the olives in the food processor to get the
tapenade a little finer. The addition of tomatoes is really nice, and it is hard to beat fresh mozzarella. The left overs are a great addition to a sandwich, or mixed with a little cream cheese for a veggie dip. Enjoy!
Ingredients

degrees. Remove olive mixture from fridge, and top each bread slice with a generous spoonful. Top with a small slice of mozzarella cheese. Arrange bread on a baking sheet and bake till cheese has
completely melted (about 15-20 minutes).
