1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

In a medium bowl, add garlic sauce, olive oil, butter, Parmesan cheese, and parsley, Mix to combine. Set aside.
Slice the French bread in half lengthwise.
Evenly Spread the garlic mixture onto each of the bread halves and top with shredded mozzarella.
Bake for 15-16 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread is crusty.
Slice the cheesy garlic bread and serve with more garlic dip. Enjoy!

Notes

For the garlic dip/sauce, I usually use the Toom brand garlic dip, which is available at Costco and other locations. But you can easily make some at home.
Use any bread of your choice.
You may skip the butter but I like using a bit of butter.
I used 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, but feel free to use less.
The time to bake these will vary by a few minutes based on the oven. You want the cheese to melt and the sides of the bread crispy.
