This Texas Toast Garlic Bread is buttery, crisp, and nostalgic! And with just 6 ingredients, it's the easiest and most delicious accompaniment to any meal.
Cut the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves and place it on a sheet of aluminum foil.
1 head garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil
Drizzle the garlic with olive oil and wrap the tin foil around it to form a golf ball sized sphere of foil. Place it on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes.
Place your softened butter in a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped parsley and garlic salt and use a hand mixer to mix until smooth.
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 handful fresh parsley for garnish, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Remove garlic from the oven and allow it to cool until it's safe to handle. Bring oven temperature down to 350°F. Hold the garlic over the bowl with your butter and squeeze, so the roasted garlic comes out of the outer skin.
Whip again with the hand mixer to break down the garlic into smaller chunks and to integrate it into the buttery spread.
If need be, cut 6 thick slices of bread, about 1-1 ½ inches thick. Spread the garlic butter generously on both sides of the bread and place them flat on a baking sheet.
6 slices thick cut sandwich bread
Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F, flipping halfway between. Then, bring your oven up to broil for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to turn golden-brown.
Notes
You can use this same garlic butter recipe to use on a French baguette or Cuban Bread to make garlic bread, but the thick cut sandwich bread will give it the Texas Toast feel.
Cheesy Texas Toast is delish! You can add shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or even parmesan before step 5.
