Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Combine the grated cheddar, Monterey Jack, Parmesan cheeses, mayonnaise, and minced green onions in a bowl. Fold the mixture gently and season with a dash of salt.
  2. Cut the French bread lengthwise into quarters. Melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter in a skillet with one-fourth of the minced garlic. Toast each piece cut-side down for about 3-4 minutes until golden.
  3. Arrange the toasted bread on a baking sheet and spread the cheese mixture generously over each piece. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  4. Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, and slice into manageable pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
