    I love Texas Toast! There is just something so comforting about a thick slice of garlic cheese bread. When I don't feel good, this is what I crave.

    My husband knows when I ask him to run to the store for Frozen Garlic Bread and a frozen pizza that I am not feeling well. Thankfully, making air fryer frozen Texas Toast is quick and easy.

    We love making Texas Toast Garlic Bread with our favorite spaghetti recipe as a pasta night side dish. Toasting the bread in the air fryer creates the perfect crispy crust and golden brown top.

    The air fryer just makes cooking frozen food so much easier! You don't have to wait for the oven to heat up or worry that you are heating your house during the summer.

    Ingredients

    Here is a quick overview of the simple ingredients for making an epic Texas Toast in your air fryer! The printable recipe card at the bottom of the post includes specific measurements and step-by-step instructions.

    • Cheese or Garlic Frozen Texas Toast

    You can make this recipe with either garlic or five-cheese Texas Toast. We tend to go for cheesy toast because you can't go wrong with garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and butter!

    We used New York Bakery Texas Toast with Five Cheese (asiago, Mozzarella, Cheddar, Parmesan & Provolone) but any brand should work.

    Equipment Needed

    • Air Fryer
    • Kitchen Tongs: Using tongs will make removing the toast from the air fryer basket much easier and keep your fingertips from burning.
    • Avocado Oil or olive oil spray- We use avocado oil on the bottom of the air fryer basket. Non-stick cooking spray can damage the air fryer tray.

    How to Make Texas Toast in Your Air Fryer

    I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a short version of our air fryer frozen garlic bread.

    There is no need to thaw the garlic bread, just take it straight from the freezer to the air fryer basket.

    Make sure you evenly spread the frozen Texas Toast in the air fryer basket so the hot air can easily circulate around each slice.

    The number of slices you can fit will depend on how big your air fryer basket is.

    We use kitchen tongs to safely remove the hot Texas Toast from the air fryer. Trust me they are going to be HOT and you do not want to burn your fingertips.

    Preparation and Storage

    Make Ahead: You want to avoid thawing the toast before cooking it! This recipe is for Frozen Texas Toast. We do not preheat the air fryer. If you preheat your air fryer, you will want to reduce the cooking time.

    Storage: Refrigerate leftover Texas toast in an airtight container and consume it within two days.

    How to Reheat: For the best quality and texture, reheat any Texas toast leftovers in your air fryer. Use the same temperature but decrease the cooking time until your Texas toast slices get crispy to your liking.

    Recipe Variations

    Substitutions: Want more flavor? Lightly coat your Texas toast slices with extra herbs or seasonings before tossing them in the air fryer. Italian seasoning blend is fantastic for Texas toast, especially if youโ€™re serving it for pasta night!

    Vegetarian + Vegan Options: This varies across Texas toast brands, so be sure to check the labeling on your package of Texas toast if you are a vegetarian or vegan eater.

    Gluten-Free: This also varies across Texas toast brands, so check the labeling if you are concerned about gluten.

    Smaller Serving Size: Cutting your cooked Texas toast slices into strips turns them into dip-worthy Texas toast soldiers.ย 

    Make it Spicy: Flavor Mosaic has a Spicy Bacon Jalapeรฑo Texas Toast Cheesy Bread, and Sonoran Spice Company has a recipe for Texas Toast Pizzas with Habaรฑero Flakes if youโ€™re looking to turn the heat up on your Texas toast.

    Larger Group/More Servings: If you cook in multiple batches, each batch will cook quicker due to the already hot temperature of your air fryer.

    Sugar-Free: As with guidance on plant-based and gluten-free options, this varies across Texas toast brands, so be sure to check the sugar content of the Texas toast you buy if this concerns you.

    Tips for the Best Air Fryer Texas Toast

    • Cooking time will vary depending on whether you are cooking garlic Texas Toast or cheesy Texas Toast.
    • Donโ€™t flip any cheese-topped Texas toast; doing so will cause the cheese to detach from the bread and stick to your air fryer basket.
    • No oil is necessary for air frying Texas Toast. Frozen Texas toast usually contains butter, so overloading on grease makes it harder for the slices to crisp up.
    • Cook the toast in a single layer so the hot air can circulate.
    • This recipe applies to products labeled as cheese toast, cheesy bread, and so on.
    • Thick and rich, Texas toast also makes a fabulous and hearty bread for grilled cheese, burgers, and personal pizzas!
