    Texas Toast - thick grilled garlic butter toast slices

    Texas toast is the thick-cut slice of white bread that refuses to be ignored — brushed with garlic butter and toasted until golden and crisp on the outside, still soft in the middle. It’s the mandatory side to any barbecue plate, and the perfect vehicle for sopping up sauce.

    The mandatory barbecue side

    Thick-cut bread slathered with garlic butter and toasted golden — the side that outshines the main course.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Mash the butter with the garlic and salt until combined.
    2. Spread the garlic butter generously on both sides of each slice.
    3. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
    4. Toast the bread 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp at the edges.
    5. Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve hot.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Use true thick-cut bread (about 3/4 inch) so the center stays soft. Toast it on a griddle or in a cast-iron pan for those perfect golden edges.
