Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal to create elongated pieces.
Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet in a single layer and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter and mayonnaise until smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, diced green chiles, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.
Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto each slice of baguette.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, spicy goodness of 'Josephinas Numero Dos'.
