6 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 6 slices Texas toast or any thick-cut bread
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley optional, for a little garnish
Instructions
Toast the Bread (Optional):
- If you’re into extra crunch, give the bread slices a quick toast before adding the toppings. But if you like it soft and buttery, skip this step and go straight to the good stuff.
Make the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir it up until everything’s well combined and ready to spread.
Prep the Bread:
- Lay the slices of bread in a single layer on an air fryer basket or a baking sheet. Spread that delicious garlic butter mixture evenly over each slice, making sure you get every corner.
Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the buttered bread, then place a slice of provolone on top. You want those layers of cheese to melt together and get nice and bubbly.
Cook It Up:
- Air Fryer: Heat at 350°F for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
- Oven: Bake at 375°F for 6-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown at the edges.
Garnish & Serve:
- If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little dried parsley on top as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve them up hot, and dig in!
Notes
Want to go gluten-free? No problem! Just swap out the regular Texas toast for thick-cut gluten-free bread. Honestly, there are some great gluten-free options out there that will still give you that perfect crunch. And a little tip—double-check your Parmesan and other ingredients to make sure they’re gluten-free too. It’s a small tweak, but it means you can enjoy all that cheesy, garlicky goodness without a second thought. So go ahead, make the switch, and dig in!
