Cheesy Texas Toast

Ingredients

  • 3 Whole Garlic Heads
  • 1.5 tsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Cups Or Two Sticks Softened Butter
  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella 4 oz.
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar 4 oz.
  • 1 Cup Shredded Parmesan 4 oz.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • ¼ Cup Minced Fresh Parsley
  • 10 Slices of Texas Toast

Instructions

  • Garlic Galore: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Slice off the tips of the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Place them cut-side-up in a baking dish, drizzle each with a smidge of olive oil, and roast for 20 minutes.
  • Flip and Roast Some More: Turn the garlic heads over, and roast them for another 20 minutes. Let them cool for about 10 minutes post-roasting.
  • Garlic Harvest: Once they’re cool enough to touch, squeeze each head to release the softened cloves.
  • Flavor Fusion: Crank up the oven to 400ºF. Combine the roasted garlic and softened butter in a bowl, mixing until well blended.
  • The Cheesy Choir: Add mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley to the butter mixture. Stir until everything’s singing the same delicious tune.
  • Toast Prep: Coat a baking sheet (or two, depending on their size) with non-stick spray. Lay out the Texas toast slices.
  • Generous Slathering: Use a knife or spatula to spread roughly ¼ cup of your cheesy concoction on each bread slice.
  • The Grand Bake: Insert the prepared slices into the 400ºF oven. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese has melted into divine gooeyness.
  • Rest and Rejoice: Let them sit for 3-4 minutes. Dig in while they’re still warm!

Notes

Brand Matters: We opted for a specific Texas Toast brand, but feel free to use your favorite.

From the Freezer: Baking from frozen? Extend the cooking time to 10-12 minutes.

Garlic Swap: You can use ½ cup of pre-minced garlic instead of fresh heads if you’re pressed for time.

Air Fryer Method: If you prefer, air fry at 370ºF for 5 minutes.
