    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and minced garlic over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs. Remove from heat.

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, combine softened butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Slice the French bread lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves. Wrap in foil and bake for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
