How to Make Fresh Texas Toast in the Air Fryer
A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.

STEP TWO: Air fry them at 350 degrees F for 4-5 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time.
How to Make Frozen Texas Toast in the Air Fryer
- Place the frozen Texas Toast slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Air fry them at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time.
If you’re 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, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Air fry them 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 ensuring that 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 most even results. However, if you’re making cheesy Texas Toast, skip the flipping so that the cheese doesn’t fall off the slice.
- Since Texas Toast already contains butter, you don’t need to spray the air fryer basket. Over-greasing could prevent the slices from becoming crispy.
What is Texas Toast?
Some people may tell you that Texas Toast is simply white bread brushed with garlic butter, similar to garlic bread. But in my opinion, there’s a little more to it than that!
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, and traditional recipes call for broiling or grilling the bread until it becomes toasty and golden brown.
For this recipe, we let the air fryer do the work to achieve crispy perfection. It’s my favorite method for getting perfect, hearty slices every time!
What Brand of Texas Toast Should You Use?
Whichever brand you prefer! Pepperidge Farm and New York Bakery are two of my favorite options, but feel free to use whatever is most convenient for you.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even make your own Texas Toast! Start with a loaf of white bread sliced to about twice the thickness of standard white bread. Melt some butter in the microwave, add garlic powder and salt, brush it onto the slices, and follow the instructions for fresh Texas Toast in the air fryer as usual.
