Texas Toast with Cheese is a simple and delicious snack or side dish that involves topping thick slices of toasted bread with melted cheese. Here’s a basic recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- Thick slices of Texas Toast (you can buy pre-sliced or make your own by cutting thick slices from a loaf of Texas Toast)
- Butter, softened
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
- Optional: Garlic powder, dried herbs (such as parsley or oregano), salt, and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the Texas Toast package or around 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Texas Toast:
- Place the slices of Texas Toast on a baking sheet.
- Butter the Toast:
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on each slice of Texas Toast. This adds flavor and helps the cheese adhere to the bread.
- Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over each slice of buttered Texas Toast. You can use one type of cheese or a combination for extra flavor.
- Season (Optional):
- If desired, sprinkle garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper over the cheese for added flavor. This step is optional and can be adjusted according to your taste preferences.
- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake according to the Texas Toast package instructions or until the bread is toasted, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil (Optional):
- If you like your cheese to have a golden brown crust, you can turn on the broiler for the last minute or two of baking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Once the Texas Toast with cheese is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
- Serve the cheesy Texas Toast as a snack, side dish, or even as an accompaniment to soups or salads.
Enjoy your simple and tasty Texas Toast with melted cheese!
