Steps
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Set the butter out to soften while the oven heats. If it is still too hard to spread, microwave it in 5-second bursts until it is soft but not melted.
- Stir the softened butter together with the garlic powder and the parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Lay the slices of Texas toast on a sheet pan. Spread the garlic butter on each slice all the way to the edges, because bare corners burn.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The garlic bread is done when the edges are golden and the butter has melted into the bread. Sprinkle it with parsley, and serve it hot.
