Mmm! Texas Toast! I love Texas Toast. It’s thick and chewy and with the garlic bread topping it takes it to beyond delicious! I love to have this along with Lasagna or pasta. I’m sure you’ve seen the boxes of garlic Texas Toast sold in the freezer section. I never buy it but my mom had it for us for dinner a while ago. It was really good but way too buttery and I couldn’t believe all the strange ingredients when I read the labels. So I decided I would make my own!
I couldn’t find a recipe I liked so I did my own thing. I bought a loaf of Texas Toast and topped it with a mixture of butter, minced garlic, parsley and salt and pepper. It was so quick to put together. And the topping is delicious.
Then you put them inside a labeled freezer zip-lock bag. It’s that easy! We are loving having this ready to go whenever we want it. I’ve warmed it up in the oven, toaster oven and on the stove-top and all ways are delicious! I’m loving this!
Garlic Texas Toast
Love to be in the Kitchen Original Recipe
Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 tsp. dried parsley
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced (or 1 Tbsp. garlic powder)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 loaf of Texas Toast (16-17 pieces)
Directions:
In a small mixing bowl, mix together the softened butter, parsley, minced garlic, salt & pepper until smooth. (Optional: Add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.) Lightly spread the butter mixture on one side of all the bread.
To Freeze:
Place bread on a cookie sheet, butter side up, and place in freezer for about 20 minutes. Remove from freezer and place in a labeled freezer zip-lock bag.
To Heat:
(If you don’t freeze the bread cut 1-2 minutes off of cooking time.)
Oven:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Lay slices butter side up on a baking pan. Bake 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
Toaster Oven:
Do not preheat. Lay slices on baking pan butter side up and place in oven. Turn oven on to 400 F. Bake 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Stove Top:
Lay slices butter side down on pan over medium heat. Cook 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

I just made these since I had a loaf of Texas Toast I ended up not using for something else. They were so easy and we loved them! It will be great to have plenty on hand in the freezer.
Did you use fresh garlic or powder?
I use fresh garlic but you can use either.
That’s awesome Natalie! I love having these in the freezer for a quick side-dish. They are addicting though!
How long will these last in the freezer for?
April- Mine never last more than a month! I’m pretty sure 3 months is about right to answer your question.
This looks yummy but I would definitely choose a healthier bread. That bread, just like most other grocery store breads, probably has just as many or more “strange ingredients” in it as the freezer Texas toast.
Feel free to choose any bread you would like!
Just made this & it’s seriously awesome! My husband said better than any of those frozen garlic breads you can buy & cheaper too. This is my new “go to” recipe!
That’s so awesome! Thanks for letting me know that you loved it! 🙂
Just made some and it was so tasty! Made a big batch for the freezer!
I’m so happy to hear you loved it! This recipe is on repeat in this house!
