Instructions:
Now that you’ve gathered the ingredients, it’s time to dive into the cooking process. Follow these simple steps to create your Cheesy Texas Toast:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C). This ensures that your Cheesy Texas Toast will be baked to perfection.
- Prepare the Bread: Place the four slices of Texas Toast or thick white bread on a baking sheet. Ensure that they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
- Create the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic (if you choose to use it). This mixture adds a flavorful twist to your Cheesy Texas Toast.
- Coat the Bread: Using a brush, evenly coat both sides of the bread slices with the garlic butter mixture. This step is crucial for achieving that golden, crispy texture.
- Sprinkle the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top of each slice. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends for a unique flavor profile.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared slices in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, and the bread turns a delicious golden brown.
- Serve Hot: Once your Cheesy Texas Toast is ready, take it out of the oven and serve it hot. The cheesy goodness is best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
