Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine butter, parsley, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl.

Step 3

Slice loaf on the diagonal, about every 2 inches, starting on top of loaf to the bottom without cutting all the way through. Repeat on the opposite diagonal to create cube-shaped sections still attached to the bottom crust.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven 15 minutes. Unwrap loaf; continue baking until cheese melted, about 10 minutes more.
