Ingredients

Garlic Butter Spread

  • 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
  • 12 tsp Parsley, Dried & Minced
  • 3 cloves Fresh Garlic, Minced

Cheese Topping

  • 1 cup Fresh Mozzarella, Grated
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Parmesan Cheese, Grated

Base

  • 10 slices Texas Toast Bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with dried parsley and minced fresh garlic until evenly combined to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  3. Apply garlic butter: Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture on each slice of Texas toast. Arrange the buttered toast slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Mix cheeses: In a separate small bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, shredded cheddar, and grated parmesan cheese, mixing them together to distribute flavors evenly.
  5. Top bread with cheese: Sprinkle the mixed cheeses evenly over each slice of buttered Texas toast, ensuring each slice is generously covered.
  6. Bake to golden perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder can be used as a substitute in a pinch.
  • Variations: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or switch up cheeses based on preference.
  • Serve warm immediately for best taste and texture.
  • This recipe makes about 10 servings, perfect for parties or family dinners.
