## **Instructions:**
### **1. Prepare the Garlic Butter**
In a small bowl, mix together **softened butter, minced garlic (or garlic powder), salt, parsley, and Italian seasoning**. This flavorful butter will soak into the bread, creating the perfect base for the cheesy topping.
### **2. Preheat the Oven**
Set your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. If you prefer an extra crispy toast, you can use the broiler for the final step.
### **3. Spread the Butter on the Bread**
Place the **Texas toast slices** on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Evenly spread the **garlic butter mixture** over each slice, ensuring that every piece is fully coated.
### **4. Add the Cheese**
Sprinkle each slice with a generous amount of **mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese**. If you like an extra kick, add **crushed red pepper flakes** for a little heat.
### **5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly**
Bake in the oven for **10-12 minutes**, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden. For a crispier top, switch to the broiler for the last **1-2 minutes**, watching closely to prevent burning.
### **6. Serve and Enjoy!**
Remove the **Cheesy Texas Toast** from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it with pasta, soup, or simply on its own for an irresistible snack.
