Ingredients
– 1 loaf thick-sliced Texas toast (white or whole wheat)

– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Creating the perfect Cheesy Texas Toast is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3. Mix the Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Spread the Butter: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto both sides of each slice of Texas toast.
5. Add the Cheese: Layer your cheese mixture (mozzarella and cheddar) on top of each slice, covering it fully.
6. Bake the Toast: Place the prepared slices on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown.
7. Broil for Extra Crispiness: If needed, switch to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden brown finish. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with dried parsley for color and added flavor, if desired.
9. Serve Hot: Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
These steps will guide you in creating Cheesy Texas Toast that’s incredibly satisfying and delicious.
