Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the French bread in a crisscross pattern without cutting all the way through to create a 'grid' of sections.

Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

Stuff the Bread
Gently pull apart the slices of bread and stuff the cheese and herb mixture into each section of the bread.

Toast the Bread
