Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 1/2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil preferably or can use dried)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
5 basil leaves, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch sugar
4 ounces goat cheese
1 loaf French baguette, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

Steps:

Prepare the sun-dried tomatoes if dried. To re-hydrate sun-dried tomatoes, place them in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain.
Place the tomatoes and remaining ingredients; except goat cheese, in a container and refrigerate for 4 hours. Process in a food processor until smooth.
Prepare cayenne toasts by preheating oven to 200 degrees F. Combine ingredients, other than bread, in food processor, mixing well. Lay bread slices on a cookie sheet. Brush tops lightly with spread. Cook 1 hour until crisp. Cool.
To serve, place sun-dried tomato spread on cayenne toasts and top with a sprinkle of goat cheese.

Tips:

Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: This will give your spread the best flavor.
Roast the tomatoes before using them: This concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter.
Add some heat: This recipe calls for cayenne pepper, but you can use any type of chili pepper you like. Adjust the amount to taste.
Use fresh herbs: Basil, oregano, and thyme are all great options. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
Let the spread cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This spicy tomato spread is the perfect way to add some flavor to your next sandwich, wrap, or burger. It's also great as a dip for vegetables or crackers. With its vibrant color and delicious taste, this spread is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. So next time you have a few ripe tomatoes on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
