1 loaf crusty bread, like italian
1/2 brick, cream cheese, softened
1/2 stick, butter, softened
1 - 2 tsp minced garlic (to taste)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (or more, to taste)
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
generous sprinkle parsley (optional, makes it pretty)

Steps:

1. Cut the loaf of bread lengthwise and lay out on a baking sheet, cut side up. The baking sheet can be foil-lined for easier clean up.
2. Mix all the other ingredients together. Depending on how soft your cream cheese is, your mixture may end up lumpy. This doesn't matter - will be just fine either way.
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bread.
4. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese and bubbling and the bread is just beginning to brown around the edges. Cut in slices and serve! (Best to make 2 batches, as the first will disappear quickly!)
