Storage Tips
Cheesy Texas Toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can reheat the toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to restore its crispiness. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the toast soggy.
Recipe Variations and Swaps
Spicy Cheesy Texas Toast
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the garlic butter mixture for a spicy kick that adds an extra layer of flavor to your toast.
Herbed Cheesy Texas Toast
Mix in dried herbs such as oregano, basil, or thyme with the garlic butter for a herb-infused version of Cheesy Texas Toast. Fresh herbs can also be added for a more vibrant flavor.
Loaded Cheesy Texas Toast
Top your cheesy toast with additional toppings like cooked bacon bits, sliced jalapeños, or sautéed mushrooms before baking. This turns your toast into a more substantial snack or side dish.
