Ingredients:
- 1 loaf Texas toast (thick-cut bread slices)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and parsley.
- Spread and layer: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over each slice of Texas toast. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Bake: Arrange the slices on the baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil (optional): For a golden, crispy top, broil for 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve: Enjoy hot as a side for pasta, soups, or your favorite comfort meals.
Pro Tip: For a flavor upgrade, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes before baking for a cheesy, garlicky kick.
