Cheesy Texas Toast:
Ingredients:
1 loaf of Texas toast bread (thick-sliced white bread)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for a mix)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried parsley (optional)
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of Texas toast.
4. Top each slice with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. You can add cheddar and Parmesan for extra cheesy flavor and texture. Sprinkle parsley on top if you’d like.
5. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
6. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end to make the cheese a little crispy, if you prefer.
7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy your cheesy Texas toast!
Perfect as a side for pasta, soup, or on its own!
