- ½ cup unsalted butter ½ cup butter = 1 stick
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

- 6 slices thick cut sandwich bread

- 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.
