In a bowl, combine the softened butter, Asiago cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, mayonnaise, sliced scallions and minced garlic. Stir until combined.
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise then spread both sides with the cheese mixture.
Bake the bread for 7 minutes then place it under the broiler just until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Cut it into slices and serve.
Notes
I like to use a fresh 1lb. loaf of French bread from the bakery section of my grocery store. It's sturdy enough to hold up to the cheesy garlic butter spread yet still has that pillowy soft interior.
Lightly grease the baking sheet or use parchment paper to prevent the cheesy mixture from sticking to the pan, making cleanup a breeze.
Adjust the amount of minced garlic based on your preference. For a milder flavor, use less; for a stronger kick, feel free to increase the quantity.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the oven or toaster oven for a better texture than the microwave.
