black olives

drained
Preheat oven to 350 F. Arrange bread slices on 2
baking sheets. Bake bread until crisp and golden
brown, about 15 minutes. (caution) Rub remaining 2
garlic cloves over 1 side of each crouton (this makes
for a REALLY powerful garlic taste!) Lightly brush
croutons with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve
croutons warm or at room temperature with tapenade.
(Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover tapenade and
refrigerate. Cool croutons completely; store in airtight
container at room temperature.)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme,
chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary,
chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon
juice
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 loaf french baguette, sliced
into rounds
