Texas Toast is a delicious breakfast food that tastes great hot or cold. This recipe uses frozen bread slices instead of fresh bread to save time. The result is crispy, golden brown toast that cooks evenly from edge to center.
How to Make Frozen Texas Toast in the Air Fryer
Texas toast is one of those dishes you either love or hate. If you’re like me, I’m in the former camp. But some things about making it in the oven just don’t work for me. For example, I’ve never been able to make it crispy without burning my fingers. And while I do enjoy a good piece of toast slathered in butter, I’d rather save that for breakfast.
