Cheesy Texas Toast

INGREDIENTS:

1 stick unsalted butter softened

1 tsp garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

8 slices white bread cut 1-inch thick

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Italian seasoning to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the broiler setting on the oven.

Mix the softened butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Brush both sides of each slice of bread with the butter mixture and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Broil the bread for 1 minute on each side, or until light golden brown.

Sprinkle one side of each slice with shredded mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning, then broil again until the cheese is melted. Watch closely to avoid burning.
