Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a crisping rack.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine real mayonnaise, shredded Cheddar Jack cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add chopped Gourmet Garden parsley, seasoned salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt salted butter until bubbling, then stir in the garlic paste for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Brush each side of Texas toast with melted garlic butter and spread the cheese mixture over the buttered side.
  5. Bake the assembled toast on the crisping rack for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden brown.
  6. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Allow to cool slightly, garnish with parsley, slice into pieces, and serve warm.
