Black Olive and Cheese Crostini
Makes 20 crostini, serves 10
Once I made these for a wedding reception with champagne that took place before the
guests traveled on to a fancy restaurant for dinner. Despite the promise of an extrava-
gant meal to come, the guests gobbled these up—they were so popular we couldn’t
keep up with the demand. Don’t pass by this recipe because of the curry powder; it
works beautifully here as a flavor accent and is not at all overpowering.
12 ounces medium cheddar cheese, shredded One 6-
ounce can pitted California black olives, chopped by
hand or in the food processor, still chunky

4
cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon curry powder
5 slices homemade white bread, cut into quarters
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Combine the cheese, olives, and chives in a bowl and toss together. In a separate
bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and the curry powder; then add the mayon-
naise to the cheese and olive mixture and stir to combine.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, spread some of the mixture on each, and
bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the topping is melted and golden brown. Serve im-
mediately.
Herb and Goat Cheese Toast
Makes 1 dozen toasts
Fresh goat cheese melds so beautifully with other French cheeses. These toasts are
wonderful with tomato soup.
