Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced Texas toast bread
- 4 tablespoons Salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons Green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the garlic powder until well combined.
Spread a thin, even layer of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each Texas toast slice.
Place the buttered slices on the prepared baking sheet, buttered side up.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese together. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the top of each slice of bread.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cheese layer on each slice.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the edges of the toast are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle each slice with sliced green onions, chopped parsley (if using), and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, cheesy, loaded Texas toast!
