In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the grated sharp cheddar cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
Using a spatula or an electric mixer, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until a smooth and creamy spread forms. Ensure that there are no lumps of butter or mayonnaise.
Preheat your oven's broiler on high.
Slice your French bread into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture evenly onto each slice of bread, ensuring it covers the surface entirely.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese spread is bubbly and lightly golden. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
