Total Time:20 minutes
Yield:8 Servings
Ingredients
8 slices Texas toast or thick-cut Italian bread
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Extra parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Stir in Parmesan cheese if using.
Spread the garlic butter generously over one side of each slice of Texas toast.
Arrange the bread butter-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 7–9 minutes until the butter melts and the bread begins to turn golden.
Broil for 1–2 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and crispy.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Texas toast provides the closest texture to Raising Cane’s garlic bread.
Fresh garlic gives the best flavor, while garlic powder adds extra depth.
Watch carefully while broiling to prevent burning.
Add mozzarella or extra Parmesan for a cheesy variation.
Garlic butter can be prepared up to 5 days in advance and refrigerated.
