- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

Method
Preheat broiler. Cut rounds from the bread using a 1 1/2-inch-diameter cookie cutter. Place bread rounds on a baking sheet and lightly brown on one side only.
Place scallions and olives in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add bacon, cheese, mayonnaise, curry powder, and salt, pulse until combined, and spoon onto the untoasted side of the bread rounds.
Return to broiler and cook until browned and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
