Ingredients
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Texas Toast or thick white bread | 4 slices |
| Grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend) | 1/2 cup |
| Unsalted butter, melted | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic, minced (optional) | 2 cloves |
These simple items come together to create a rich, cheesy toast you’ll want to make again and again.
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (205°C) so it’s hot and ready for baking.
2. Arrange the Bread:
Lay the four slices of Texas Toast or thick bread on a baking sheet, spacing them evenly for consistent cooking.
3. Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and minced garlic (if using). This adds extra depth and aroma to your toast.
4. Brush the Bread:
Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of each slice with the garlic butter mixture. This helps achieve that crispy, golden finish.
5. Add the Cheese:
Scatter the grated cheese over the top of each slice. Try mixing cheeses for even more flavor.
6. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bread is beautifully golden.
7. Serve:
Enjoy your Cheesy Texas Toast immediately while it’s hot and melty.
