Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tops off the garlic heads.
Drizzle garlic with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35-40 minutes.
After roasting, cool slightly, then mash the garlic cloves into a smooth paste.
Mix the mashed garlic with softened butter until creamy.
Slice the bread lengthwise and spread the garlic butter on both halves.
Layer mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and parmesan cheese over the bread.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden crust, watching carefully.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and allow cooling before slicing.
