1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you plan to broil the toast later, position the oven rack to the middle.
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic powder, and salt. Spread this mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
3. Assemble the Toast: Place the buttered slices of bread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by mozzarella and Parmesan (if using) over each slice.
4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Optional Broiling: If you want an extra crispy finish, broil the toast for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or additional seasoning if desired, and serve hot.
