  1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Cut 40 rounds from bread slices with cutter, then brush 1 side of each round with butter/olive oil and bake on a large baking sheet until pale golden, about 8 minutes. (Leave toasts on baking sheet.)

  3. Preheat broiler.

  4. Finely grate (I use a mircoplane) the Parmigiano-Reggiano (you will have about 1 cup).

  5. Mash together cream cheese, olives, scallion, bell pepper, paprika, and Sherry until combined well, then top each toast with 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

  6. Broil canapés about 4 inches from heat until Parmigiano-Reggiano begins to turn golden, about 1 minute. ~~

  7. ~ Toasts can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

  8. ~ Cream cheese mixture can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before using.
