Instructions
Preheat Oven and Score Bread
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sourdough loaf on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, make deep cuts across the loaf in a grid pattern about 1 inch apart, cutting almost but not all the way through the bottom crust to keep the loaf intact.
Cook the Onion Garlic Butter
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
Stuff the Bread
Place the scored loaf on a large piece of aluminum foil. Carefully open each cut section and spoon the onion garlic butter mixture deep into every crevice. Stuff both mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously into every gap so cheese is visible throughout.
Wrap and Bake
Wrap the stuffed loaf tightly in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes. Then open the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the top is golden.
Serve Immediately
Transfer the loaf to a serving board. Garnish with extra fresh parsley. Serve right away while the cheese is hot and melted, encouraging guests to pull apart individual segments directly from the loaf.
