🧀 Cheesy Texas Toast

Ingredients:

1 loaf thick-cut Texas toast (or any thick sliced bread)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

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

1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Make the garlic butter:

In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Spread butter:

Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on each slice of Texas toast.

Top with cheese:

Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the buttered toast.

Bake:

Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Broil (optional):

For an extra crispy finish, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Serve hot:

Garnish with a little extra parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tip: You can also make this in an air fryer by placing the toast in a single layer and cooking at 375°F for about 5-7 minutes!~
