Here’s a Cheesy Texas Toast recipe that’s buttery, garlicky, and perfectly golden with a melty cheese pull—just like the best steakhouse version.
🧀🍞 Cheesy Texas Toast
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 8 slices thick-cut Texas toast or thick white bread
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp parsley (dried or fresh)
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
1. Prep
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment
2. Make Garlic Butter
- In a bowl, mix butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and a pinch of salt
3. Assemble
- Spread garlic butter generously on one side of each bread slice
- Place slices butter-side up on baking sheet
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over each slice
4. Bake
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted
- Broil 1–2 minutes until tops are bubbly and lightly golden (watch closely)
5. Serve
- Serve hot and melty
- Perfect with pasta, soup, BBQ, or as a snack
⭐ Pro Tips
- Shred your own cheese for better melting
- For extra crisp edges, toast bread 2 minutes before adding cheese
- Don’t overload cheese—melts better with a balanced layer
🔥 Variations
- Texas Toast Supreme: add bacon bits or jalapeños
- Italian-style: add oregano and Parmesan
- Extra cheesy: mix cream cheese into the butter
