Recipe for Texas Toast

---

This is not only a basic Recipe for Texas Toast, but this recipe put a cap on a great Texas barbeque meal. Texas toast seems like a very simple thing to make, and it is. But Texas toast is normally unexpected and very welcome when you do go to that little bit of trouble to make it.

Here's a very basic recipe for Texas toast made on the grill. It can be made with the garlic butter for Texas garlic toast, or skip the garlic. Either way it is delicious.

Texas Grilled Garlic Toast

INGREDIENTS:
1 stick soft butter
4 cloves crushed garlic
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 loaf white bread, sliced 1" thick

DIRECTIONS:
Mix together the butter and garlic in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Brush both sides of the bread with the butter and place on the grill. Grill the bread for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly golden brown but not burned. Serve on the side of your barbeque plate.

There are other variations of this toasted bread. A loaf of French or Italian bread sliced thick works well also. Also, you can mix in other herbs and spices into the butter to come up with different tastes.

Here's one with a little smokey Mesquite taste:

Mesquite-Grilled Texas Toast

INGREDIENTS:
8 slices white bread, cut thick
3 tablespoons garlic spread
3 tablespoons butter
1/2-teaspoon McCormick mesquite seasoning

DIRECTIONS:
Prepare your grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine garlic spread, butter, and mesquite seasoning. Microwave on high setting for about a minute. Brush the butter mixture on each slice of bread. Place the bread buttered-side down on the grill. Cook for 1 minute until you see nice grill marks. Turn the slices 1/4-turn and grill for another 30 seconds.

Remove from your grill and serve warm.
