Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.

Mince the garlic.

Combine olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl.

Spoon the garlic-infused olive oil over the bread slices.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bread is lightly toasted.

While the bread is toasting, finely dice the salami.

Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes (if needed).

Finely dice the smoked provolone or Gouda cheese.

Finely chop the pitted calamata olives.

Chop the fresh basil or Italian parsley.

In a mixing bowl, combine the salami, sun-dried tomatoes, cheese, olives, and basil.

Mix well to combine all ingredients.

If the mixture seems dry, add 1 teaspoon of oil from the bottled sun-dried tomatoes.

Just before serving, spoon the salami mixture over the toasted bread slices.

Serve immediately.
