Tapas with olives and cheese

Number of servings: 4Cooking time: 15 minDifficulty: EasyMeal: Lunch

Classic Spanish snack, prepared in 20 minutes without an oven. Ideal appetizer for a wine party or as a light lunch snack. Harmonious combination of crunchy bread, tender cheese, and juicy olives.


Replace white cheese with goat cheese for spiciness and acidity. Add sliced prosciutto or jamón for a richer flavor. Use Kalamata black olives instead of green ones for a deeper flavor.


Dry the bread in a pan for perfect crunchiness and warmth. Use young hard cheese, cut into thin filmy slices. Cut olives into rings so they adhere well to the cheese.


Choose a fresh crispy baguette five centimeters wide. Olives should be pitted or removed in advance. Take the cheese for grating out of the fridge twenty minutes before use.


Serve the tapas immediately after preparation, while the bread is still warm and crispy. Can be prepared two hours in advance, but cover with plastic wrap. Recommended to pair with dry white wine or Spanish beer.
