Ingredients:
- 8 slices of Texas toast (thick-cut bread)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or red pepper flakes
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Assemble the Toast:
- Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter on each slice of Texas toast.
- Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the bread slices.
- Bake the Toast:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- For an extra golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve warm alongside soups, pasta dishes, or salads.
Tips:
- Add a layer of marinara sauce under the cheese for a pizza-inspired twist.
- Use pre-shredded cheese blends for convenience, or experiment with your favorite cheeses like provolone or pepper jack.
