   Put the eggs and cheese in a food processor and process until yellow and thick, about a minute.

3. 3

   Add the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne and pulse three or four times, just to integrate the dry ingredients; you dont want to overwork the gluten in the flour.

5. 5

   Shape the dough into an 8- to 10-inch log, transfer to the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten.

6. 6

   Bake until the log begins to color and is firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes.

7. 7

   Cool for about 10 minutes, then cut on the bias into half-inch slices.

8. 8

   Lay the biscotti flat on the baking sheet and bake until crisp and toasted, 15 minutes; turn and toast the second side for another 10 to 15 minutes.

9. 9
