Ingredients

• 1 French bread loaf
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place the halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, softened cream cheese, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves using a spatula.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle this cheese mixture evenly over the ranch spread on both bread halves.

Step 6

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the bread to help the cheese melt evenly and develop a golden color.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Optionally, broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden brown, crispy topping. Be sure to watch it closely to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and chives over the top for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Slice the bread into smaller pieces for serving and enjoy warm!
