Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Mince the garlic and add it to the cooked ground beef. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat.
Dice the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and cucumber, and combine them in a mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl, along with crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Combine the tomato mixture with the cooked ground beef and stir until evenly distributed.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of the beef and vegetable mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Beef Bruschetta!
