Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

In a small bowl, mix together softened unsalted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Brush both sides of the bread slices generously with the garlic butter mixture and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.

Broil the bread for about 1 minute on each side until it’s light golden brown.

Top one side of each toast slice with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Broil again for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and serve immediately.
