Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Cut the bread in 1-inch parallel strips, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in 1-inch strips perpendicularly to create a cross-hatch pattern.

In a small bowl, mix the butter, garlic and parsley. Spread the butter mixture evenly into the bread using a spoon or pastry brush. Stuff the rows evenly with cheese.

Wrap the loaf in parchment and then foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
