Equipment
Ingredients
- 8-12 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic pressed*
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 8 slices thick sliced white bread*
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese
- ¾ ounce (¼ cup) parmesan cheese*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.In a small saucepan or in the microwave, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic, salt, oregano, and parsley. Brush both sides of the bread lightly with the butter mixture.
- Spoon the remaining garlic and herbs on top of the bread.
- Top the bread with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bottom of the bread is golden brown. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
Notes
- Butter: Use as much as you prefer. For super buttery toast, use 12 Tablespoons.
- Garlic: If you do not have a garlic press, you can use garlic paste which can be found in the refrigerated produce section.
- White Bread: The key is to use thick pieces of white sandwich bread. In the south, you can find loaves that are actually called Texas toast.
- Parmesan Cheese: Omit and use an extra ounce of mozzarella, if you do not have any parmesan on hand.
- Use a metal pan. When the metal pan gets hot, the buttered bread that is touching it will become crispy and golden brown. Do not use a glass/ceramic dish or parchment paper/silicone mat. This prevents the bottom from crisping up.
