Cheesy Garlic Texas Toast - Buttery Texas Toast with three-cheese topping. So easy, takes 15 mins and SO much better than store-bought!
What Is Texas Toast
Texas Toast is a delicious toasted bread covered with butter and garlic. It is usually thicker than other breads, and has more of a square shape.
This toast makes a delicious pairing for all kinds of pastas, from meat pasta to garlic noodles.
My version of the recipe has a cheese topping that is to die for, as it pairs so well and makes for an excellent snack.

Cooking Tips
- The secret to making a killer version of this garlic toast lies in the garlic parsley butter.
- Skip garlic powder and go for fresh garlic. You want to use pureed garlic so your Texas toast will be infused with the amazing flavor and aroma of the garlic.
- For the cheese topping, I chose Trader Joe’s three-cheese blend of mozzarella, cheddar and Monterey Jack. You can’t go wrong with these three cheeses on a buttery and garlicky toast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Like the name suggests, the toast was created in Texas after an order that asked for thicker bread slices ended up with bread that was too thick for a toaster. They then proceeded to butter and grill them instead.
It’s about twice as thick as normal bread.
For the best results, rebake the toast in the oven at 425°f for 5-7 minutes.

You get the garlic the way you want it by using a garlic press, available at most food specialty stores. Recipe
To use a food processor there would have to be a whole lot of garlic cloves. Perhaps the use of a microplane to grate the garlic finely could be the solution.
Yes microplane will be great.
