Who doesn’t like small portions of food to snack on? They are easy to eat as you don’t generally need any cutlery, just two fingers are enough, which at the same time makes them fun! Bruchetta or canapé –as we call it in Turkish is a great food to have at breakfast or to start you lunch or dinner. It is also a wonderful party food, isn’t it? You can serve it at ceremonies like weddings, too. It is like a saver food, which you can serve at any occasion. What is more, you are free to create your own topping. Top it with just what you have in your pantry. I used green olives this time as topping.
I love cured green olives more than black ones, maybe because they are preserved by mom. We generally have them in form of salad for breakfast (Easy Green Olive Salad). Believe me it is so appetizing and helps you wake up. This bruchetta recipe just came to my mind when I was preparing breakfast at the weekend. I thought combining separate breakfast foods on top of crispy bread slices would be perfect. Fortunately, I wasn’t wrong. This has become another favorite recipe of us with green olives since then.

Those bites are just yummy. Unfortunately I hate dill so the only ingredient I would replace would have been this...
