Step 1: Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
Step 2: Prepare Bread: Place the 4 slices of bread on a baking sheet.
Step 3: Mix Butter and Garlic: In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 cloves minced garlic (if using).
Step 4: Brush Bread: Brush the butter and garlic mixture evenly on both sides of the bread slices.
Step 5: Add Cheese: Sprinkle the 1/2 cup grated cheese evenly on top of each slice.
Step 6: Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Step 7: Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter and garlic mixture.
You can also use different types of cheese to customize the flavor.
Serve cheesy Texas toast with soup, salad, or as a standalone appetizer.
