Easy Spicy Parmesan Toasts
"These are a favorite in my house, they are incredibly easy to make and so good!. A good olive oil and Parmesan cheese is a must with this. Purchase the long narrow French baguette for this and make certain that it is a day old, it makes slicing easier. I have even made these using melted butter in place of olive oil, and added in some garlic powder with the cayenne/cheese mixture. If you like super spicy just increase the cayenne slightly. These make a great late-nite or weekend snack! Yield is only estimated depending on the size of the baguette."

These are tasty and easy to make. I halved the recipe for an afternoon snack for 2; they would be wondrous served with a salad! I enjoyed the spice of the cayenne and the zing of the parmesan. I usually have these ingredients on hand, so I'll be making these often! Thanks for sharing, Kitten! -
I made these to carry out of town with us over the holiday weekend. They are great when they are fresh out of the oven but don't expect them to hold up overnight (at least they didn't for me). I placed them in a plastic baggie and the next day they were tough and chewy, I ended up throwing them away. I will use the recipe again but being sure they will be eaten right away. -
