8 slices thick-cut Texas toast bread

Set broiler to high and position the oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat element.

In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened unsalted butter with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Generously brush both sides of each slice of Texas toast bread with the garlic butter mixture. Arrange bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Broil for about 1 minute per side or until bread is lightly golden, monitoring carefully to prevent burning.

Remove baking sheet from oven. Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella cheese over each slice and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Allow bread to cool for 1–2 minutes. Serve warm as a side or snack.
# Notes:

Monitor the bread closely under the broiler, as it can brown rapidly. The toast is best served immediately for optimal texture.
