Creative Ways to Use Tapenade as an Appetizer.

Bites of Tapenade.

Tapenade's bold flavours pair well with crostini. Grill or toast baguette pieces until crisp. Spread tapenade generously on each slice.

Press a garlic clove over heated crostini to enhance the flavour before spreading the tapenade. Add crumbled feta or goat cheese for a creamy contrast. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary for a fragrant finish.

Mini crostini are easy to create and consume!

Stuffed Mushroom Tapenade.

Tapenade elevates baked stuffed mushrooms, a popular appetiser. Remove and coarsely slice huge mushroom caps' stems.

Combine chopped mushroom stems, tapenade, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and olive oil in a bowl.

Generously fill mushroom caps with mixture.

Bake until mushrooms are soft, and the filling is hot and golden brown.

The earthy mushrooms and strong tapenade create a delicious umami explosion!

Deviled Tapenade Eggs.

Fold the tapenade into the yolk mixture to improve deviled eggs.

Carefully scoop yolks from hard-boiled eggs into a basin.

Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a few spoonfuls of tapenade.

Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Return tapenade-flecked yolk mixture to egg white halves; pipe or spoon.

Sprinkle smoked paprika or chopped chives as a garnish.

The briny tapenade enhances these devilishly delectable nibbles' creamy yolks.
