In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of room temperature unsalted butter with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and fully blended.

Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm for about 3-5 minutes.

Generously spread the prepared garlic butter on one side of each thick slice of white bread.

Carefully place the slices of bread with the buttered side down onto the heated skillet. Spread more garlic butter on the top side of each slice.

Using a spatula, gently flip each slice of Texas toast once the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Let the other side cook until golden.

Once both sides are perfectly golden and crispy, remove the Texas toast from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate. Serve warm.
