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 | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Dried oregano | 1 teaspoon |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 1 cup |
| Provolone cheese | 6 slices |
| Dried parsley (optional, for garnish) | 1/2 teaspoon |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Prep the bread: Arrange the thick-sliced bread in a single layer inside an air fryer basket or on a baking sheet. (Optionally toast the bread slightly first for a crunchier crust).
-
Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder, stirring until well blended.
-
Butter the slices: Brush or spread the garlic butter mixture evenly across the top of each bread slice all the way to the edges.
-
Add the cheese: Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered bread, then place one slice of provolone cheese on top of each piece.
-
Bake or air fry: Air fry at 350°F for 5 minutes, or bake in a convection oven at 375°F for 6 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
Garnish and serve: Garnish with dried parsley if desired and serve hot immediately.
