Cheesy Texas Toast
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 6 slices Texas toast or other thick-cut bread
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
-
Optional Step: If you prefer a crispier texture, lightly toast the bread first. For a softer bite, skip this step.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano until well combined.
-
Lay the bread slices in a single layer on an air fryer rack or a baking sheet. Spread the butter mixture evenly over each slice.
-
Top each slice with mozzarella cheese, then place one slice of provolone on each piece of bread.
-
Air fry at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or bake in a convection oven at 375°F for 6–7 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.
-
If desired, sprinkle with dried parsley before serving.
