Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the melted butter.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add half of it to the butter and garlic mixture along with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread, ensuring it reaches all edges.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese. Mix together.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously over both halves of the bread, covering them completely for maximum cheesiness.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 12β15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and garnish with the remaining fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Allow the bread to cool for a minute or two before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Goodness Garlic Bread!
