Delish Texas Toast

Let’s talk about a little golden gem called Delish Texas Toast. This bread is magical, creating a buttery, garlicky delight that’s like a warm, savory hug. Each slice is perfection in toasted form, and pounds your taste buds in the best way possible. Perfect as a side to salads, pasta, or one of those indulgent midday snacks. It’s a must-try because it takes your meal from “meh” to “mmm!” in about ten minutes.

My husband has a love affair with this Texas Toast. No doubt, this is the one thing guaranteed to get big eyes and a bigger smile at the dinner table. I’ve lost count of the times he’s claimed to be “too full” after dinner and then magically has room when this toast appears. It’s like a tradition now—Sunday dinners are incomplete without a golden slice (or three).

How to Make It

So, you’re ready to make some glorious Texas Toast? Trust me, it’s easier than convincing a cat to nap. Grab your bread (nothing too fancy here), slather it lovingly with butter, sprinkle generously with garlic powder. You’ll feel rugged (in a good way). If you’ve got some parsley lying around… perfect. Chop that up and make it rain. Then shove those slices onto a baking sheet and let your oven do the hard work. Flip once if you feel ambitious.

✔Ingredient Notes

– Bread: Let’s be honest, the thicker, the better. It soaks up the butter like a charm.
– Butter: Real deal only. Margarine won’t make friends here.
– Garlic Powder: If fresh garlic is your thing, go nuts. Just watch the fingers when you’re mincing!
– Parsley: Adds a little color pop and fresh taste. I once swapped for cilantro—wild but good.

✔Recipe Steps

1. Preheat oven to a cozy 375°F.
2. Grab your best bread slices and lay them out.
3. Smother each side with butter like it’s a spa treatment.
4. Sprinkle garlic powder like you’re casting a spell.
5. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden goodness.
6. Optional flip and additional bake for crisp lovers.

What to Serve It With

Pasta, salad, or, honestly, just a glass of wine. It carries itself.

✔Tips & Mistakes

Cautions about bread thickness: too thin and you’ll miss the magic. Butter generously, for maximum garlic goodness. Double-check the oven temperature—beyond that, mistakes somehow taste just fine.

✔Storage Tips

If you have leftovers (unlikely), wrap them up tight in foil and toss in the fridge. Quick tip: it actually makes a solid breakfast if you toss it back in the oven—crispy like you wouldn’t believe. Cold? Yeah, but only if it’s life’s last option.

✔Variations and Substitutions

– Out of parsley? Try basil—it’s a party.
– Wanna go wild? Toss some cheese on there before baking.
– No garlic powder? Fresh is cool, just don’t overdo it.
