Prepare the olives by chopping your choice of olives into small, uniform pieces, ensuring they are pitted. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped olives with your choice of creamy cheese, stirring until evenly incorporated.

Take the ciabatta or baguette, cut in half lengthwise, and lay cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.

Evenly distribute the olive-cheese mixture across the cut sides of the bread, ensuring each half is generously covered.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Once baked, let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a glass of wine or as part of a charcuterie board.
