black olives (for garnish) |
long crusty bread, cut into 1/4-inch slices |
Directions:
1. Place the olives, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil in the bowl of a processor and chop as finely as possible. [May be prepared ahead]
2. Spread thinly on bread slices.
3. Cover with blue cheese.
4. Decorate with a piece of black olive.
