Preheat the Oven:
o Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
o In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
Spread the Butter Mixture:
o Place the French bread halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread, ensuring that it covers the entire surface.
Add the Cheese:
o In another bowl, mix the Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses together.
o Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the buttered bread, covering it from edge to edge.
Bake:
o Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Broil for Extra Crispiness:
o Turn on the broiler and broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and slightly crispy.
Garnish and Serve:
o Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of chopped parsley for a fresh burst of color and flavor.
o Allow the bread to cool for a minute, then slice it into individual pieces and serve immediately.
