Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
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.
Add the garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread halves, ensuring an even layer for each piece.
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.
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.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it into individual serving pieces.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
