Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
Peel the garlic cloves, cut them in half, and set aside.
Place the baguette slices in the oven and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove them and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine green olives, black olives, cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth.
Spread the olive cheese mixture over each toasted baguette slice.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each slice.
Place the bruschetta back into the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once out of the oven, rub the toasted garlic halves gently over the tops of the baguette slices for added flavor.
Season the bruschetta with salt and pepper, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
