4. In another small mixing bowl, combine your olive oil, salt, garlic, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Mix these ingredients until they combine with the oil evenly, and then drizzle the herb oil as evenly as possible into the loaf’s grid cuts. Lastly, top the loaf with the mixed cheeses.
5. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake the loaf for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese mix has melted and the loaf has turned a golden-brown color.
