Roast beef crostini with horseradish and blue cheese sauce starts with toasted baguette rounds (see my recipe for homemade baguettes if you’d like to try making your own). The rounds are topped with deli roast beef (making this super quick to put together) that has been marinated in garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and rosemary.
This delightful combo is then topped with a horseradish blue cheese sauce and chopped chives. These came together in about 10 minutes (I had made baguettes ahead of time). The horseradish blue cheese sauce was super yummy and I used some of the leftover sauce on my steak the next day.
If I make these again, I will add some arugula next time as well, because I felt like they could use another element. I think the strong flavor of arugula would go perfectly with this.
