Ingredients:
• 1 loaf of thick-cut white or Texas toast bread
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Toast:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the slices of Texas toast on a baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
2. Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until it forms a smooth, well-blended garlic butter mixture.
3. Spread the Garlic Butter:
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of Texas toast, ensuring an even coating.
4. Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the buttered side of each slice. Add a little extra cheese if you like it extra cheesy!
5. Bake the Toast:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the toast for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Once the cheesy toast is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with dried parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite pasta, salad, or enjoy it on its own!
