# Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking and cheese melting.

Cut the French bread or baguette into halves or individual slices according to your preference. Use individual slices for a crispier texture and optimal cheese coverage.

In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a spreadable consistency is achieved.

Using a knife or spatula, evenly spread the garlic cheese butter mixture over each bread slice or half. Cover the surface thoroughly for maximum flavor.

Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown, with the cheese bubbling and edges crispy. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
