- Spread the butter mixture on both sides of the bread.
- Cook Texas toast in the air fryer in a single layer until crispy brown, flipping halfway through.
Tips And Time Savers
- Preheat the air fryer before making Texas toast. The initial blast of hot air crisps and seals the outside, leaving the bread nice and chewy inside.
- Don’t crowd the air fryer, cook in batches if needed.
- Once cooked, all slices can be heated in the air fryer together for a minute or so before serving.
How to Freeze Texas Toast
Make slices ahead and keep them at room temperature in a zippered bag. Reheat in the air fryer. Pieces can be frozen for up to 4 weeks. Reheat from frozen in the air fryer. Texas toast can also be prepped and frozen uncooked. Simply spread the garlic butter mixture on both sides of the bread and freeze slices between layers of parchment paper in a zippered bag until ready to cook.
