Ingredients:
4 slices of thick-cut Texas toast bread (or any thick-sliced white bread)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Butter Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well blended.
Butter the Bread:
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on both sides of each slice of bread.
Toast the Bread:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered slices in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Serve the warm, golden Texas toast as a side with your favorite meal, such as fried chicken, or enjoy it as a snack on its own!
Serving Tips:
Serve Hot: Raising Cane’s Texas Toast is best served fresh off the skillet, while it’s hot, crispy, and buttery. For optimal flavor and texture, serve immediately after toasting.
Side Dish Pairings: This toast pairs wonderfully with fried chicken, BBQ, pasta, soups, or a fresh green salad. It’s also great as a snack on its own!
Garnish for Extra Flavor: For a little extra flavor, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese over the toast right before serving.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: If you have leftovers, wrap the toast in aluminum foil or store it in an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Freezing: To freeze, allow the toast to cool completely, then place slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer the slices to a freezer-safe bag or container. Texas toast can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating:
Oven/Toaster Oven: For the best results, reheat the toast in a preheated oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s warmed through and crispy again.
Skillet: You can also reheat it on a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side.
Microwave: While it’s possible to microwave the bread, it may lose its crispiness, so it’s not recommended for the best texture.

FAQs:
Can I use regular white bread instead of Texas toast?
Yes! While Texas toast bread is thicker and provides that classic Raising Cane’s texture, you can use any thick-sliced white bread. The key is to use a bread that can hold up to the buttery garlic mixture without becoming soggy.
How do I make the toast crispier?
To make the toast even crispier, toast it a little longer on each side (around 3-4 minutes) and use slightly more butter. You can also preheat the skillet well before adding the bread to ensure a good, even browning.
Can I add cheese to the toast?
Absolutely! You can sprinkle grated Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella on top of the toast while it’s still hot for a cheesy twist. You could even broil it for a minute to melt the cheese.
Can I make the garlic butter mixture ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the garlic butter mixture up to a week in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and simply spread it on the bread when you’re ready to toast!
Conclusion:
This copycat Raising Cane’s Texas Toast recipe is quick, easy, and full of buttery, garlicky goodness. Perfect as a side for fried chicken, soups, or salads, it brings the restaurant flavor right to your kitchen. Enjoy warm, crispy toast in just minutes!
