Ingredients:

To Taste | Boscoli's Italian Olive Salad
1 Baguette | Cut into 1/4" - 1/2" thick slices
1 Cup | Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese (any hard cheese will do, but I prefer Parmigiano-Reggiano)

1. Prepare the bread. You can toast it a bit before you add the toppings.

2. Add a spoonful of olive salad atop each slice of bread. You can spoon it right from the jar! Top with grated cheese.

3. Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until just melted to perfection.

These are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but they also refrigerate well. So easy... it almost doesn't warrant a recipe!
