| 3 | In a small bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. |
| 4 | Spread a generous tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto each slice of bread, ensuring it covers the entire surface. |
| 5 | Bake the cheese toasts in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown and bubbly, usually around 6 to 8 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. |
