Loaded Cheesy Garlic Texas Toast

This cheesy Texas toast takes classic garlic bread to the next level. Thick slices of bread act as the perfect base for layers of melty mozzarella and provolone, creating a rich, gooey center with crispy edges. The real flavor boost comes from a savory garlic butter mixed with herbs and Parmesan, soaking into the bread while it toasts to golden perfection.

Cheesy Texas Toast

Ingredients:

• 6 slices Texas toast (or thick-cut bread)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 6 slices provolone cheese
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Optional: dried parsley for garnish

How to Make:

Step 1: Make the Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well.

Tip: For a crispier texture, lightly toast the bread for a couple of minutes before adding the butter. For a softer center, skip this step.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Place the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or in an air fryer basket. Spread the garlic butter evenly over each slice.

Step 3: Add the Cheese
Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over each slice, then top with a slice of provolone.

Tip: Placing provolone on top helps everything melt smoothly and keeps the shredded cheese in place.

Step 4: Cook

• Air fryer: 350°F for about 5 minutes
• Oven: 375°F for 6–7 minutes

Cook until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden on top.

Step 5: Serve
Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot while the cheese is perfectly melted and stretchy.
