Texas toast with cheese

Recipe Directions

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the butter.

2. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is perfect for achieving a crispy, golden crust while allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.

3. Assemble the Toast

Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture on each slice of Texas toast. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the bread for maximum flavor.

4. Add the Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered toast. For extra cheese goodness, you can add a bit more cheese if desired.

5. Bake the Toast

Place the prepared toast on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown. If you prefer an extra crispy top, you can switch to broil mode for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, but be sure to watch closely to avoid burning.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove the toast from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. If you like, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a touch of color and freshness.
