Cheesy Texas Toast is a deliciously buttery and garlicky bread topped with a melty blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. This easy-to-make appetizer or side pairs perfectly with soups, salads, or pasta dishes. Crispy on the edges and soft inside, it’s an irresistible comfort food classic.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread:

  • 1 loaf Texas toast or thick sliced white bread

Garlic Butter:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste

Cheese:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Garnish (Optional):

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well blended and fragrant.
  3. Butter the Bread: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both sides of each slice of Texas toast or thick bread to ensure every bite has rich flavor.
  4. Arrange Bread on Baking Sheet: Place the buttered bread slices in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, ready for the cheese topping.
  5. Add Cheese Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each bread slice, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese for a flavorful cheese blend.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and the edges of the bread turn a golden brown.
  7. Optional Broil: For extra crispy cheese topping, broil the toast for 1-2 minutes, closely monitoring to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the cheesy Texas toast from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Thick slices of bread work best to hold the butter and cheese without becoming soggy.
  • Feel free to add extra herbs like oregano or basil for more flavor variations.
  • Broiling is optional but recommended for an extra crispy top layer of cheese.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on your needs.
