Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long halves, then place them cut-side up on the baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a garlic butter spread.
Use a spatula or knife to evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread halves.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops of the bread halves. Follow with the grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Place the baking sheet with the prepared bread into the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling.
Turn on the ovenβs broiler for the final 2-3 minutes of cooking to achieve a golden, crispy cheese topping. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bread cool slightly for a minute or two.
Slice the cheese garlic bread into smaller pieces using a serrated knife and serve warm. Enjoy!
