This Cheesy Texas Toast is a classic American favorite featuring thick slices of bread slathered with garlic butter and topped with melted cheese. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Quick to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients:

6 slices Texas toast bread (or thick-cut bread)

100 g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened

2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried parsley)

150 g (1 1/2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese

50 g (1/2 cup) shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Salt, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and salt.

Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.

Place the bread slices on a baking sheet with the buttered side facing up.

Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the bread slices.

Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Optional: For extra crispiness, switch to broil (grill) for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with tomato soup or marinara sauce for dipping.

Pair with grilled chicken or pasta dishes for a complete meal.

Tips:

Add grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Use any thick-cut bread if Texas toast is unavailable.
