How To: Make garlic bread with parsley and cheese

Someone said this was too basic. So if it is, then I want to know why people are still buying that horrible already-made kind in the supermarket? I like to make this on a long French loaf. All you need is butter, Italian parsley, garlic cloves, parmesan, grated cheese (not the powdered kind), salt and a long French or sour dough loaf of bread.
