Here’s a quick and easy Cheesy Texas Toast recipe 🧀🍞
Ingredients (serves ~4)
- 1 loaf Texas toast (or thick-cut bread)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- Optional: parsley or Italian seasoning for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven
375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. - Make garlic butter
In a small bowl, mix softened butter and minced garlic. - Prepare bread
Spread garlic butter evenly on each slice of bread. - Add cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top of each slice. Add optional herbs if desired. - Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra crispiness, broil 1–2 minutes at the end—watch carefully to prevent burning. - Serve
Slice and serve hot as a side or snack.
Tips
- For a spicy twist, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes on top.
- Can mix mozzarella and cheddar for a richer flavor.
- Make ahead and bake right before serving for fresh, melty cheese.
I can also give an air fryer version, a loaded supreme version with toppings, or a cheese-stuffed pull-apart version.
