Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick-cut Texas toast bread (or any thick-sliced white bread)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated creating a smooth, flavorful butter spread.
- Butter the Bread: Using a knife or spatula, spread a generous layer of the prepared garlic butter mixture on both sides of each slice of Texas toast, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor and crispiness.
- Toast the Bread: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the buttered bread slices on the skillet. Toast each side for 2-3 minutes until the bread reaches a golden brown color and the butter has crisped up, forming a savory crust.
- Serve: Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and serve warm. It pairs perfectly with fried chicken, soups, salads, or can be enjoyed as a delicious standalone snack.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and spreading.
- Use thick-cut bread like Texas toast to achieve the classic texture and flavor.
- Adjust garlic powder amount to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder garlic flavor.
- Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the butter while allowing the bread to toast evenly.
- This bread is best served immediately for optimal crispness but can be reheated gently in a skillet or oven.
