Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced Texas toast bread
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Lay the Texas toast slices flat on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the melted garlic butter generously over the top of each slice of bread.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded Monterey Jack cheese together.
Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the buttered slices, making sure to cover the bread edges for maximum cheesiness.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tops of the toasts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Turn on the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden, bubbly crust on the cheese. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the toasts from the oven and let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy Mozzarella Monterey Jack Texas Toast!
