• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, relish, mustard, and a large pinch of cayenne.
• Peel eggs, and halve lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks to bowl with mayonnaise mixture, leaving whites intact.
• Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise mixture until smooth; season with salt. Mound into egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika just before serving, if desired.

SPICY CAYENNE TOASTS WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD

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.
