Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick-cut Texas Toast
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 4 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes for a fresh, herbal note

Instructions

  • Let’s get busy cooking! Here’s a simple breakdown of the process.

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • First, gather your ingredients. Arrange them neatly on your kitchen counter. Trust me; it makes the process much smoother. With everything in one place, you’ll feel more organized and ready to tackle this delightful project.

Step 2: Mix the Butter and Seasonings

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine your softened unsalted butter, garlic granules, smoked paprika, and dried parsley flakes. Stir them together until well blended.

Step 3: Spread the Mixture on the Toast

  • Take your thick-cut Texas Toast and spread a generous layer of your butter and seasoning blend on one side of each slice. Ensure that each slice is coated evenly to maximize flavor.

Step 4: Heat the Griddle

  • Preheat your non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Wait until it’s hot. A hot surface means a beautifully golden crust.

Step 5: Cook the Toast

  • Place the bread slices butter-side down on the hot griddle. It’s essential to keep an eye on them; let them toast for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6: Add Parmesan

  • While the first side cooks, sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the exposed side. After your initial side reaches that perfect color, flip the slices. Toast until the other side reaches a similar golden hue.

Step 7: Serve Hot

  • Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted slightly, remove the Texas Toast from the skillet. Place it on a plate and serve immediately. The longer you let it rest, the less crispy it will be.

Notes

To ensure you get this dish right, keep these handy tips in mind:
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic granules and freshly grated cheese always make a big difference.
  • Customize Seasonings: Feel free to tweak the seasonings based on your preferences such as adding Italian herbs or extra garlic.
  • Don’t Rush the Heat: Moderate heat allows the bread to crisp nicely without burning. Patience here pays off.
  • Experiment with Breads: Trying different styles of bread can yield unique taste profiles. Sourdough is a great alternative.
  • Don’t Overload the Butter: While butter makes it delicious, too much can make it greasy. Find the sweet spot!
