Cheesy Garlic Bread

1 lb loaf French or Italian bread, cut in half lengthwise
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 green onions, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, crushed

Prepare the oven racks for using the broiler, so that the bread will be 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil. Lay the two long bread pieces, cut side up, on foil.  Set aside.

In a mixing bowl using a rubber spatula, stir together butter and mayonnaise until well-blended.

Stir in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

Stir in the green onions, garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well.

Spread the mixture over the cut sides of each of the bread pieces, covering evenly.

Turn the oven to broil and place the prepared bread under broiler. Broil for 3 to 5 min or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly. Watch carefully as it can burn quickly.

Remove from oven and using a sharp serrated knife, cut into 2-inch diagonal slices.  Serves 12
