Cheesy Garlic Bread

1 medium loaf French bread, unsliced
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cloves garlic, halved
1 tsp dried parsley
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut slices down the length of bread loaf at 1-inch intervals, without cutting all the way through. Rub slices and top of loaf with cut sides of garlic halves. Mince garlic. Combine butter, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Spread butter mixture between bread slices and on top of loaf. Wrap bread in foil, leaving top partially uncovered. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.
