Drain any liquid from the olives and measure out 4 cups total.

Ensure at least one type of olive is pungent, like a stuffed Spanish olive.

Add 4 cups of pitted olives (stuffed Spanish, kalamata, and plain black) to a food processor.

Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt to the food processor with the olives.

Process the olives and salt until they become a paste, about 1 minute.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the paste and pulse a few more times until combined.

Spread the olive tapenade on toasted baguette rounds.

Spray baguette rounds with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic powder.

Toast the baguette rounds in the oven until crunchy.

Top the toasted baguette with mozzarella cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is brown and bubbly.

Finish by adding chopped fresh tomatoes and parsley on top of the bruschetta.
