Pipe cream cheese between slices, or spread with a knife if you do not have a piping bag.  In a mixing bowl whisk together the rest of the ingredients. Dunk the entire bread, cut side down until fully saturated. Use your hands to separate the wedges so the liquid gets in between the slices. Drain off excess and place on sheet pan, add an additional piping of cream cheese in the center and more Parmesan cheese then bake in oven for 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Dust with more Parmesan Cheese.
