- Butter each of the dark and white bread slices.
- Spread each dark slice of bread with ripe Rouge et Noir Camembert.
- Combine the chopped pickles in a strainer and drain away all excess liquid.
- Spoon the pickle mixture over the cheese.
- Top with the white bread—buttered side down—forming a sandwich.
- Cut the sandwiches into quarters and top each with an olive slice. Pierce the sandwiches with a cocktail toothpick to hold them together and keep the olive in place.
- Arrange on a decorative platter and serve.
