Ingredients:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1\/2-inch rounds<\/li>\n
  • 1 (8-ounce) block of feta cheese<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup pitted green olives<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained<\/li>\n
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/li>\n
    2. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.<\/li>\n
    3. In a food processor, combine the olives, capers, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse tapenade. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n
    4. Cut the feta block into small cubes or crumble it.<\/li>\n
    5. Top each toasted baguette slice with a portion of the crumbled feta, then spoon a teaspoon or two of the olive tapenade over the top.<\/li>\n
    6. Arrange the assembled bites on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the feta is slightly melted and the tapenade is fragrant.<\/li>\n
