Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut white bread (or Texas toast bread)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. - Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until well combined. - Prepare the Bread
Spread an even layer of the garlic butter mixture onto one side of each bread slice. - Add the Cheese
Place the buttered bread slices on the prepared baking sheet, buttered side up. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over each slice. - Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra golden and crispy finish, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. - Garnish and Serve
