Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread (or any crusty baguette)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, softened butter, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and creamy.

Step 4

Add the garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread halves, ensuring an even layer for each piece.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

Step 7

For an extra crispy finish, turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of the baking time. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it into individual serving pieces.

Step 9

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
