Grilled Texas Mesquite Toast Recipes

TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Mix together the butter and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brush both sides of the bread with the butter and place on the grill. Grill the bread for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly golden brown.

GRIDDLED TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Warm a griddle or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Then add 1 tablespoon butter until warmed. Next, add the bread in batches to the griddle and allow to brown or crisp on the first side, 1 to 2 minutes. After browning, flip the bread and repeat the process on the second side. Season with salt and pepper. Remove after browning and serve.

GRILLED CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon into the softened butter. Spread cinnamon butter over each slice of brioche.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Spray grates with nonstick spray.
• Place each slice of brioche on the grill, buttered-side down. Grill until caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.

TEXAS TOAST GUACAMOLE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mash avocados in a large bowl. Add onion, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Stir tomato into the guacamole.
• Spread desired amount of guacamole over 2 bread slices; top each with 2 slices Havarti cheese. Cover with the remaining 2 slices bread; butter the outsides.
• Heat a skillet to medium-high heat. Cook sandwiches until golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes more.

GRILLED CHEESE PATTY MELTS

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, parsley, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Form into 3 evenly-sized patties.
• Warm a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Place burgers onto the warm griddle and cook to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Remove burgers and set aside.
• Warm a second griddle over medium heat. Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Place a slice of bread onto the griddle, butter-side down. Add a slice of cheese, a burger, and a second slice of cheese. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up. Repeat with remaining burgers.
• Cook until bread is golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes more.

TEXAS TOAST GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Toast bread in toaster.
• Preheat skillet over medium heat.
• Spread mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
• Place both slices of cheese between the two slices of bread (on the mayonnaise side).
• Melt butter in the skillet.
• Place the sandwich in the skillet with the butter.
• Use a spatula to turn sandwich from side to side until cheese is melted.
• When the cheese is melted and the outside is crispy and browned to your taste, remove the sandwich and cut into your favorite shape (diagonal, or half, or into four squares).
• Serve on a plate with your favorite side, chips, tomato soup, BOTH!

GRILLED MESQUITE BEEF FAJITAS (TEX-MEX)

Steps:

• Clean the skirt or flank steak. Remove as much of the fat and thin film as possible.
• Combine all remaining ingredients.
• Pour over meat and marinate over night (minimum), turning occasionally.
• Arrange coals on along two sides of the grill with a drip pan in the middle.
• Once white around the edges, add mesquite chips. You can soak them first if you want, but it's not necessary.
• Place meat over drip pan and put the cover on the grill.
• Turn meat after 20 minutes or so, and cook for another 10-15 minute Meat should be cooked, but still juicy.
• Let meat rest for 15 minute.
• Cut the meat across the grain into thin strips (1/4-3/8" thick). Be careful here, the grain does not run lengthwise. You should cut each skirt steak into 6" segments, turn each segment 90 degrees then slice. If you don't cut across the grain, the meat will be very tough.
• Serve on hot flour tortillas, topped with your favorite toppings. I prefer spicy guacamole and shredded shard cheddar cheese.
