Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and unsalted butter. Use a fork to mash and blend them until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Finely mince the garlic and fresh parsley, then add them to the cheese mixture along with the sea salt and black pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Spread a generous layer of the blue cheese mixture evenly onto each half of the baguette.
Bake the baguette halves in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.
For extra crispness, switch the oven to broil and let the bread brown lightly for 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
