Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully heat up while you prepare the bread.
Prepare the Bread: Slice the Italian bread in half lengthwise and lay both halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet.
Make the Garlic Cheese Spread: In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened butter, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until you have a well-combined, creamy mixture.
Spread the Mixture: Evenly distribute the cheese and garlic spread over the cut sides of the bread, making sure to cover every inch for maximum flavor.
Bake the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to turn golden.
Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): For an added crunch, switch your oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning!
Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the bread into pieces, and serve it warm. Enjoy this cheesy, garlicky delight!
