Steps:
- For the olive spread: Combine the Kalamata and Manzanilla olives, red pepper, olive oil, vinegar, parsley and oregano in a food processor. Pulse 8 to 10 times, until evenly incorporated but still chunky (nothing larger than pea-size). If not using immediately, transfer the spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. (Makes 2 cups.)
- For the bruschetta: Lay the baguette slices on two baking sheets. Top each slice with 1 teaspoon of the olive spread. Then layer the slices with a piece of mozzarella, followed a piece each of provolone, mortadella, capicola and salami. (At this point, the bruschetta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours; remove from the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.) Finish the bruschetta with a small dollop of olive spread, and garnish with a basil leaf. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Combine black olives through black pepper in a food processor and pulse 8-10 times until coarse - not smooth.
- 2. Slice the bread into 1/4 inch slices and arrange on a sheet pan. Spread 1 teaspoon of olive mixture on bread.
- 3. If your bread is narrow, you might need to slice your cheese and meats in half. Next add cheese on top of olive mixture followed by a slice of salami, then ham, then sopressata. Add one more slice of provolone on top of meats. For larger gatherings,slice each piece of bread in half to make them easier to eat. Garnish each piece of bruschetta with an olive run through a toothpick.
- 4. Arrange bruschetta on a platter and garnish with extra parsley and toothpick studded mini mozzarella balls.
Tips:
- Use good quality ingredients: The fresher and tastier your ingredients, the better your bruschetta will be. Choose ripe tomatoes, flavorful bread, and quality olive oil.
- Grill or toast your bread: This will give your bruschetta a nice smoky flavor and help it to hold up better under the toppings.
- Don't overcrowd the bread: You want each bite of bruschetta to have a good balance of bread, toppings, and sauce. Avoid piling on too many toppings.
- Use a variety of toppings: There are endless possibilities for bruschetta toppings. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
- Serve bruschetta immediately: Bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh, so make it just before you're ready to serve.
