Crispy Cheesy Texas Toast

• servings: 5 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 9 minutes

Ingredients

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 Italian seasoning

1 Pepper

1 Salt

8 slices White bread

1 stick Butter, unsalted

1 cup Mozzarella cheese

Directions

Oven Preparation: Activate the broiler function, positioning the rack approximately 4-5 inches from the heating element to create an intense toasting environment.

Flavor Infusion: Whip softened butter with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined, creating a fragrant and zesty spread.

Bread Coating: Lavishly brush both sides of bread slices with the seasoned butter mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coverage from edge to edge.

Initial Toasting: Arrange buttered bread on a baking sheet and slide under the broiler, toasting for 1-2 minutes until the surface transforms into a golden-brown, crisp canvas with slightly darkened edges.

Cheese Transformation: Flip bread slices, then generously blanket each piece with mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, returning to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts into a luxurious, bubbling layer.

Serving Presentation: Extract the cheesy toast from the oven, allowing a brief cooling moment before serving, revealing a crisp, golden base topped with molten, herb-infused cheese.
