TOPPINGS: Anything goes on Texas toast! Sprinkle on a little parmesan cheese, mozzarella, or a shredded Mexican blend.

Best Garlic Bread Tips

Keep leftover pieces of Texas toast in a zippered bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them under the broiler, air fryer, or in the toaster (if they fit). Freeze unbaked pieces of Texas toast between sheets of parchment paper in a zippered bag and bake from thawed, if desired. Cut slices of Texas toast into strips for dunking or cut them into cubes and make croutons!
