Drizzle one side of each baguette slice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese with 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).

Return to the oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
