Notes
For extra flavor, try adding chopped jalapeños, crispy bacon bits, or a drizzle of pesto before baking. You can also use sourdough or ciabatta instead of Texas toast. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for 5–7 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to keep the toast crispy.
