Ingredients
  • 1 Baguette
  • 8 oz Roast Beef
  • 4 oz Horseradish Cream
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Prepare the Baguette

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick rounds. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Horseradish Cream

In a small bowl, gently stir the prepared horseradish cream. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can mix in a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese.

Assemble the Crostini

Spread a generous spoonful of horseradish cream onto each toasted baguette slice. Top with a folded slice of roast beef. Garnish with fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Tips and Variations

For a richer flavor, try using garlic-infused olive oil on the baguette. You can add a small dollop of caramelized onions on top of the roast beef for extra sweetness. For a spicy kick, use a horseradish cream with a higher horseradish content. Add a cornichon sliced in small pieces.

FAQ

  • Can I make these ahead of time?

  • What kind of roast beef should I use?

    Thinly sliced deli roast beef works great for this recipe. You can also use leftover roast beef from a previous meal.
  • Can I use a different type of bread?

    Yes, you can use other types of bread such as a French loaf or sourdough bread. Just make sure to slice it into thin rounds and toast it until crispy.
