TEXAS TOAST WITH CHEESE

TEXAS TOAST WITH CHEESE (Page 3 ) | July 27, 2023

Grilling is one of our favorite ways to make dinner in nice weather. Everything can be made on the grill which saves a mess and cuts down on dishes inside the house. Marinated Pork Chops or Sweet & Sour Chicken Kabobs make an amazing meal served with a slice of cheesy Texas toast.

When making grilled cheesy toast I always use a layer of foil to prevent burning and help the bread warm more evenly. Heavy Duty aluminum foil is thicker and preferable, but regular foil is better than nothing.

Placing bread on the top rack is a great way to warm the bread and melt the cheese without the higher heat of the bottom grill grate.

TIPS FOR MAKING CHEESY TOAST
A thick bread works best for this recipe since it’s loaded with cheese and so many flavors
Sometimes I like to slice a loaf of Italian or French bread and add this garlic and cheese mixture
If using foil on the solid tray in toaster oven be sure to cover the tray tightly so loose edges don’t inhibit air flow

Toast can be buttered on both sides if preferred, but I like to sandwich all of the garlic flavors in between the toast and melted cheese
A combination of at least two cheeses works best to maximize flavors
Day-old bread off of the discount rack works great for this recipe and helps save money
Garlic toast reheats well in the toaster oven in just a couple minutes
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange 6 thick, fresh slices of Texas toast in a single layer on the pan.

In a small bowl melt butter. Add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and oregano and mix well.

Spoon in a small glass dish with melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano and dried parsley on a white counter top.
