This warm Garlic Olive Crostini recipe will sure to be a hit at any get together. They can be made in a snap and will be gone before you know it. You might want to make two batches.
I am always needing a quick recipe that packs a punch at a family get together or group gathering. I like to have a few things that are warm and some that are cold. I have found both with my favorite Mezzetta Olives. They are beautiful in your favorite bowl with some basil garnish and they can be made into a recipe like the one I am sharing today. Plus there are several flavors to choose from, so you can change up your appetizers.
One of my favorite memories growing up at the holidays was decorating my fingers with olives. I am sure most kids did this, and I think it is what made kids grow to love olives so much.
I can hear my dad talk about it every year as I got older, saying “who was it that put olives on their fingers every year?” Of course probably my sister and I both did it.
