Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped anchovy fillet

1 teaspoon capers (preferably salt-packed), rinsed, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel

1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel

1 1/4 cups Niçoise olives, pitted, divided

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing and drizzling

1 tablespoon (packed) chopped fresh basil plus 24 whole leaves for garnish

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

2 8-ounce balls fresh mozzarella cheese, drained, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices

6 6-inch-long pieces ficelle or narrow baguette, split horizontally in half

6 thin prosciutto slices

Directions

Combine first 5 ingredients in mortar; mash with pestle to paste. Add 1 cup olives and mash to coarse paste. Chop remaining 1/4 cup olives and stir into mixture. Mix in 1/4 cup olive oil, chopped basil, and lemon juice. Season tapenade with pepper. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Brush cut sides of ficelle with additional olive oil. Place 1 prosciutto slice on bottom half of each ficelle, then top with mozzarella slices, dividing equally. Spoon tapenade over each. Sprinkle with pepper; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Garnish with basil leaves. Cover with top halves of ficelle.
