How to Make Frozen Texas Toast in the Air Fryer

- 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time.
Making frozen cheese Texas Toast? The instructions are slightly different!
- Place the frozen cheese Texas Toast slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, so they are not overlapping.
- Air fry at 350 degrees F for 6-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. Do not flip.
Tips for Making the Best Air Fryer Texas Toast
- Don’t overcrowd the basket! The key to super-crispy toast is making sure the air can circulate around each slice. Overcrowding will also make the toast take longer to cook.
- If you’re making fresh or frozen Texas Toast, be sure to flip halfway through the cooking time for the evenest results. However, if you’re making cheesy Texas Toast, skip the flipping, so the cheese doesn’t fall off the slice.
- Because Texas Toast already contains butter, you don’t need to spray the air fryer basket. Overgreasing could prevent the slices from crisping up fully.
What is Texas Toast?
Some people may tell you Texas Toast is simply white bread that’s been brushed with garlic butter and just like garlic bread. But if you ask me, there’s a little more to it than that!
They say everything’s bigger in Texas, so it makes sense that the bread used for this recipe is about twice the thickness of regular white bread.
Each slice is generously buttered on both sides; then, traditional recipes will broil or grill the bread until toasty and golden brown.
For this recipe, we let the air fryer cook the Texas Toast to crispy perfection. It’s my favorite method for getting perfect, hearty slices every time!
What Brand of Texas Toast Should You Use?
Whichever one you like! Pepperidge Farm and New York Bakery are two of my favorite brands, but you’re welcome to grab whatever is most convenient for you.
You could also make your own Texas Toast if you like! You want to start with a loaf of white bread that has been sliced to about twice the thickness of standard white bread.
Simply melt some butter in the microwave, add garlic powder and salt, brush it onto the slices, then follow the instructions for fresh Texas Toast in the air fryer like usual.
