- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Method
Step 1
Preheat the broiler or grill to high.
Step 2
Brush bread slices with olive oil, using around 3 tablespoons. Place, oiled side down on grill or on a cookie sheet around 4 inches from broiler. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until toasted and light golden brown. Remove from oven; turn pieces from grill over so oiled side is up. Set on a large cookie sheet.
Step 3
In a food processor, mix together the beans, lemon juice, garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and purée until creamy and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Spread purée on toast pieces and sprinkle walnuts on the top. Drizzle with truffle oil and garnish with chopped parsley. Move from baking sheet to a pretty platter and serve.
