What Makes It “Texas” Cheese Toast?
This isn’t just a slice of bread with cheese tossed in the oven. Texas-style cheese toast often features:
Thick, hearty Texas toast bread – twice as thick as regular sliced bread, with a soft center and crisp edges.
Bold cheeses – think sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or even a smoky gouda.
A buttery, seasoned base – sometimes with garlic, chili powder, or a hint of jalapeño.
Optional extras – bacon bits, diced green onions, or a dash of hot sauce to add a personal touch.
This toast is big, bold, and unapologetically flavorful—just like Texas itself.
Ingredients
4 slices Texas toast (thick-cut white bread or similar)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or cheese blend of your choice)
Pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: chopped jalapeños, bacon crumbles, green onions, or hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
Prepare the bread
Spread butter on each slice of bread. If using garlic, mix it into the butter beforehand. Sprinkle a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika on top for a smoky kick.
Add the cheese
Generously pile shredded cheese on each slice. Don’t hold back—Texans never do.
Bake
Place the bread slices on the baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. For a golden-brown top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
