Gooey Texas Toast is a mouthwatering side that's crunchy, buttery, and packed with melty cheese and punch of garlic. This simple method takes minutes to make and will crush your hunger for warm, cheesy comfort food.
INGREDIENTS- Mayonnaise: 3/4 cup
- Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup
- Fresh parsley: 1/4 cup, chopped
- Shredded Cheddar Jack cheese: 4 cups
- Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- Seasoned salt: 1 teaspoon
- Thick Texas toast: 8 slices
- Salted butter: 1/2 cup
- Garlic paste: 1 tablespoon
- Step 1:
- Get your oven hot at 350°F (175°C). Put a crisping rack on a baking sheet.
- Step 2:
- Grab a bowl and combine mayo, both cheeses, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pop it in the fridge to keep it cool and firm.
- Step 3:
- Slowly melt your butter in a pan on low heat. Add garlic paste and cook it until it smells good, about 2-3 minutes.
- Step 4:
- Lay out bread slices on your rack. Brush each piece with lots of your garlic butter mix.
- Step 5:
- Scoop the cheese mixture on top of each buttered slice, making sure to cover all the bread.
- Step 6:
- Stick it in the oven for 10-12 minutes until it turns golden and starts bubbling. Want it extra crispy? Turn on the broiler for a minute or two at the end.
- Step 7:
- Toss some more parsley on top for a bit of freshness. Eat it while it's hot!
- Eat right away when it's warm and crunchy.
- Got leftovers? Stick them in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days. Warm them back up in the oven or toaster to keep them crispy.
- Grate your cheese fresh instead of buying pre-shredded for better melting.
- Make twice as much when you've got more mouths to feed.
