To prepare a delicious Texas toast with cheese, you’ll need the following ingredients and instructions:
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of Texas toast (thick-sliced white bread)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of your choice)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the garlic butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley (if using). Mix everything well until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
- Spread the garlic butter: Take each slice of Texas toast and spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on the buttered side of 4 slices of the Texas toast.
- Form sandwiches: Take the remaining 4 slices of Texas toast and place them on top of the cheese-covered slices, buttered side facing out. This will form sandwiches with the cheese in the middle.
- Press gently: Gently press the sandwiches together to help them stick.
- Toast in the oven: Place the prepared Texas toast sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot: Once the Texas toast with cheese is ready, remove it from the oven, let it cool for a minute, and then serve hot.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Texas toast with gooey, melted cheese! You can serve it as a side dish for soups, salads, or as a tasty snack on its own.
