Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we like the thickness of crunch of the Garlic Texas Toast but you can definitely change the bread to what you prefer. You can make with regular Texas Toast Bread, Sourdough Bread, or just plain white bread.
These grilled cheese sandwiches are best served when made. But if you do have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I would enjoy within about 1-2 days.
Reheat the leftovers in the oven or on the stovetop in a skillet over medium heat.
