Texas Toast with Cheese

🛒 Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Texas toast or thick-sliced bread	6 slices
Butter, melted	4 tablespoons
Grated Parmesan cheese	2 tablespoons
Garlic powder	½ teaspoon
Dried oregano	1 teaspoon
Shredded mozzarella cheese	1 cup
Provolone cheese	6 slices
Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)	½ teaspoon

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Directions

1. Prepare the Bread

Arrange the thick-sliced bread in a single layer in an air fryer basket or on a baking sheet. For a crunchier crust, you can lightly toast the bread first if desired.

2. Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

3. Butter the Bread

Brush or spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each slice, making sure to cover it all the way to the edges.

4. Add the Cheese

Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over each buttered slice. Place one slice of provolone on top of each piece of bread.

5. Bake or Air Fry

For the air fryer, cook at 350°F for 5 minutes.

For a convection oven, bake at 375°F for 6–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, hot, and bubbling.

6. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with dried parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot and the cheese is melted.
