Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 slices
Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten free bread
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning preparation.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are well incorporated.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Alternatively, you can use an oven broiler set to high.
- Generously spread the garlic herb butter mixture evenly across one side of each gluten free bread slice, ensuring complete coverage to the edges.
- If using a skillet, place buttered side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and toast the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- If using a broiler, place buttered side up on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The top should be golden and slightly crisp.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 1-2 minutes to allow butter to set slightly.
- Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with additional chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and crispy for best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened and all ingredients are at room temperature for easy mixing and spreading.
- Even Coverage: When spreading the garlic herb butter, be generous and ensure that it reaches all the edges of the bread. This helps achieve a perfectly crispy texture.
- Watch the Heat: If using a skillet, keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning. Adjust the temperature as needed to achieve that golden-brown perfection.
- Broiler Caution: If broiling, stay close and keep a watchful eye—broilers can turn your toast from golden to burnt in seconds!
- Garnish for Flavor: For an extra touch, sprinkle additional chopped parsley over the finished toast before serving. It adds a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Texas toast right away while it’s warm and crispy for the best flavor and texture!
