This is one of my most popular recipes by far and it’s SO EASY! I make grilled Texas Toast all the time at my Women’s Grilling Clinics and these are supremely addictive and there are never any leftovers. It’s surprising how easy it is to make creative compound butters with whatever herbs you might have on hand, and the bread gets beautiful char marks by preparing it on the grill.
For preparing the toast:
Take a loaf of your favorite type of bread (I like using challah or brioche) and slice off 4-6 (or more depending on how many pieces you want to make) 2” inch pieces. Spread them generously with the compound butter.
While grilling your meat or other items on the grill over direct heat, put your bread over indirect heat cooking each side until char marks form. You can put the Texas toast on direct heat (directly above the coals or gas burner) but you will need to watch it very carefully to ensure the pieces do not burn, no more than a minute a side. The Texas Toast is done when the bread starts to get slight grill marks and butter turns golden brown.
The Texas Toast pieces can also be baked in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F until the bread/butter turn golden brown.
For preparing the Basil Compound Butter:
A compound butter is simply butter whipped together with your favorite ingredients. Get creative and use your own herb/ingredient combination to complement your meal!
Let the butter come to room temperature. DO NOT melt it in the microwave, it will change the texture of the butter. Combine butter and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse to puree the ingredients. Put it into an easy to access container and store in the refrigerator.
Congratulations, you just made your first compound butter!!
