This guide will show you how you can make Raising Cane’s Texas Toast at home with all of the buttery and garlicky goodness that you love, so let’s get started!

Ingredients you’ll need:

• Texas toast or thick-cut white toast – Texas toast typically is thicker than regular toast, which is important to get that soft interior and crisp exterior.
• This is the base of a rich, buttery flavour.
• Garlic powder, 2 teaspoons – for that signature flavour.
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (adds depth of flavour)
• Use 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley to add a little colour and freshness.
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt for seasoning.
• 1/4 teaspoon of pepper – Just a touch of spice is needed to balance out the flavours.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Butter Mixture:

• Melt Butter: You can melt the butter either in a small pan on low heat or by using a microwave for 30-40 seconds.
• Add the seasonings. Once the butter has melted, add garlic powder, onion, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Mix everything until all the seasonings have been incorporated, sp this delicious mixture will produce that garlic butter coating for toast.

2. Make the Texas Toast

• Preheat the Skillet or Grill: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. If you would rather bake the toast, you can use your oven.
• Be generous with the mixture: Spread the garlic butter on both sides of the Texas toast. For maximum flavour, make sure to coat every corner and edge.

3. Cook the Texas toast:

• Grill or Pan-Fry – Place the bread on the grill or in the pan. Cook each side of the bread for approximately 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Press the bread slightly down if you are using a grill to get an even toast.
• You can also toast the bread using the oven. Preheat your oven to about 375degF. Place the bread slices on a baking tray and bake them for 5 to 7 minutes on one side. Then flip the bread over and continue to bake it for another 3 to 5 minutes or until crispy and golden.

4. Serve and enjoy:

• Remove the Texas toast from the oven or pan once it is golden brown and crispy. Serve it hot with your favourite fried chicken, dipping sauce or just as a snack.

Texas Toast Tips:

• Use Thick Bread. Texas toast is known to be thick. Do not substitute regular sliced bread. Pre-sliced Texas toast is available at most stores, but you can also use regular bread if it’s at least an inch thick.
• You can prepare Texas toast in advance by making the mixture of garlic butter and storing it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. When you are ready to toast the bread, brush on the garlic butter mixture.
• Add more Garlic Powder: If you like garlic, you can increase the amount of garlic powder in the mixture or add fresh minced garlic for extra flavour.
• Parmesan is a great addition: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan on toast after it’s been toasted, and then place the toast back in the pan to melt the cheese for an additional minute.
