Indulge in the savory delight of our Texas Toast with Cheese, where the richness of garlic blends harmoniously with a trio of Parmesan, mozzarella, and provolone atop butter-slathered bread. A culinary masterpiece that complements pasta dishes or a succulent cut of meat, this semi-homemade creation is a surefire hit for family meals.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 cup shredded mozzarella
6 slices provolone cheese
6 slices Texas toast or any thick-cut bread
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preparation: Decide whether you prefer a crunchier texture by lightly toasting the bread slices in advance. If you favor a softer bite, skip this step.
Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano until thoroughly combined.
Application: Arrange bread slices in your air fryer basket or on a baking sheet in a single, flat layer. Spread the butter mixture evenly over each slice.
Cheesy Layers: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the bread slices, topping each with a slice of provolone cheese.
Cooking Options:
For air frying: Set your Air Fryer to 350°F and toast for 5 minutes.
For conventional baking: Preheat your convection oven to 375°F and bake for 6-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional Garnish: If desired, sprinkle dried parsley over the toasts for a vibrant touch of color and extra flavor.
Serve & Enjoy: Delight in the melty goodness immediately after preparing.
Tips:
Budget-Friendly Twist: Save money by using day-old bread from the discount aisle for an equally delightful outcome.
Quick Reheat: For a speedy and tasty snack, reheat your garlic toast in the toaster oven for a few minutes.
