THE CHEF FROM HELL

I've served these bread rounds at many a cocktail party and wedding reception and they're always a big hit.  The toast is seasoned with cayenne pepper so don't be suprised if your guests begin to consume copious amounts of cold beer after eating these zippy little palate pleasers.  Hoo Hah!

2 loaves fresh French Bread

1/2 tsp Butcher Cracked Black Pepper

1 tsp Paprika

Cooking Procedure:

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees

Slice the bread into 1/4 inch rounds

Place the bread on an ungreased sheet pan & set aside

To make the topping for the toast:

Whisk the topping mixture well

To prepare the toast:

Using a pastry brush, brush the top of each bread round with some of the topping

Serve immediately
