Step-By-Step Directions:

Prep bread: Arrange the Texas toast slices in a single, flat layer in an air fryer basket or on a baking sheet.
-
Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder, stirring until well mixed.
-
Butter the toast: Brush or spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each slice of bread, coating all the way to the edges.

Add cheeses: Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered slices, then top each slice with one full slice of provolone cheese.
-
Cook: Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, OR bake in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for 6 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with optional dried parsley and serve hot.
