TEXAS TOAST
Butter and garlic spread over toasted bread is what makes Texas Toast so delectable. It has a more square shape and is typically thicker than other loaves.
All kinds of pasta can be paired with this toast, from meat pasta to garlic noodle dishes.
This recipe features a cheese topping that is to die for because it combines so well and is a great snack.
Chef’s Advice:
- The garlic parsley butter is the key to preparing a delicious garlic toast.
- Instead of using garlic powder, use raw garlic.
- Your Texas toast will taste and smell better if you use pureed garlic instead of minced.
- For the cheese, I went with a three-cheese combination from Trader Joe’s, consisting of mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack. These three cheeses work perfectly together on a garlicky, buttery toast.
The Texas toast started when a customer who requested thicker bread slices received pieces that were too thick to fit in a toaster, hence the name. Following that, they opted for grilled butter and garlic flavoring.
In comparison to bread, it’s twice as thick.
Toast should be reheated in the oven at 425°F for 5-7 minutes for the best results.
