Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F
Slice the baguette in slices about 1/2-inch thick and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush them with the olive oil.
Transfer the baking sheet to the middle rack of the oven and toast to a golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool before adding the topping.
For the topping:
To the bowl of the food processor (a mini-processor works great), add the artichoke hearts, garlic, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, lemon juice and parmesan cheese. Process to a smooth consistency, transfer to a small bowl and stir in the chopped olives.
Spread about a teaspoon of the topping on each slice of bread and add half of an olive and a sprig of fresh parsley as garnishment.
