 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Green olives with pimentos --
                       -chopped fine
    1/2   c            Black olives -- chopped fine
    1/2   c            Mayonnaise
    3/4   c            Parmesan cheese -- grated
  2       ds           Tabasco sauce
                       Garlic
                       Butter
                       White bread

 Mix olives, mayonnaise, cheese, and tabasco. Saute garlic in
 butter. Remove crusts from bread. Cut bread into diamond or round
 shapes. Toast one side of rounds of bread. Dip the other side in
 melted garlic butter. Spread buttered side with olive mixture.
 Top each piece with a slice of green olive, if desired. Bake at
 350 F for 10 minutes, or until bubbly. Can be frozen before baking.

 The canapes can also be formed into mini-quiches by cutting pie
 crust pastry into rounds, placing in mini-muffin tins, brushing
 with a small amount of garlic butter (don't overdo it), and filling
 with olive mixture. Bake at 350 F until bubbly.
