Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the sourdough bread loaf on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, make cuts across the bread in a grid pattern, being careful not to slice all the way through the bottom of the loaf.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the butter from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Carefully pour or brush the butter mixture into the cuts of the bread, ensuring it gets into all the crevices.
Stuff the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and crumbled bacon evenly into the cuts of the bread.
Wrap the bread in aluminum foil, leaving the top slightly open for a crispy surface.
Transfer the bread to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden and crisp.
Remove the bread from the oven and carefully unwrap. Sprinkle extra parsley on top for garnish if desired.
Serve hot and let your guests pull apart pieces to enjoy!
