White Bean and Black Olive Bagel Chips

I saw this recipe while I was waiting in the lobby at my dentist office and scribbled it down, planning to make it several weeks ago.  The original recipe was for crostini but I had a bag of bagel chips in the pantry and knew this would work just as well so I adapted the recipe to fit what I had on hand.  I thought this was really good, especially with so few ingredients.
