Ingredients
Texas Toast
- 4 to 6 thick-cut slices of Texas toast (or thick white bread)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
Cheesy Topping
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Parsley or dried oregano, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
- Butter the Bread: Arrange the thick-cut bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush each slice with the garlic butter mixture.
- Add the Cheese: In a separate bowl, toss together the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Pile the cheese mixture generously on top of each buttered slice of bread.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, then switch to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with a little extra dried oregano or parsley, slice if desired, and serve immediately!
