Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, sugar, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese into the dry ingredients, making sure they are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together using a spatula until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the gluten-free Italian herb and cheese bread warm, or store in an airtight container to enjoy later.
