Instructions:
1. Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic (or garlic powder), salt, parsley, and Italian seasoning. This flavorful butter will soak into the bread, creating the perfect base for the cheesy topping.
2. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you prefer an extra crispy toast, you can use the broiler for the final step.
3. Spread the Butter on the Bread
Place the Texas toast slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over each slice, ensuring that every piece is fully coated.
4. Add the Cheese
Sprinkle each slice with a generous amount of mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese. If you like an extra kick, add crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.
5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden. For a crispier top, switch to the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Remove the Cheesy Texas Toast from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it with pasta, soup, or simply on its own for an irresistible snack.
Serving Suggestions
Cheesy Texas Toast is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with:
- Spaghetti and marinara sauce – A classic combo!
- Steak or barbecue – A great side for grilled meats.
- Tomato soup – The ultimate cozy meal.
- Salads – Adds a crunchy, cheesy bite to fresh greens.
- Eggs and bacon – A cheesy, garlicky alternative to regular toast.
Tips for the Best Cheesy Texas Toast
Use real butter – Margarine won’t give the same rich flavor. Fresh garlic = more flavor – But garlic powder works if you’re in a pinch. Experiment with cheeses – Try Monterey Jack, Gouda, or Pepper Jack for variety. Make it extra crispy – Broil for a minute at the end of baking. Store leftovers properly – Wrap in foil and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
