Ingredients
  

  • 1 french baguette loaf cut into 2 inch slices
  • 2 cloves garlic optional
  • 6 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup horseradish aioli get that recipe here, or use store bought creamy horseradish in the condiments section.
  • 4 slices deli roast beef
  • 6 tsp balsamic fig glaze see recipe below, or use store bought balsamic glaze
  • 6 tsp green onion chopped

Method
 

  1. Slice your baguette and toast until golden brown.
  2. Rub a garlic clove on the toasted slices of bread (this adds way more flavor than you think!).
  3. Drizzle about 1/2 tsp of olive oil on on side of the toasted crostini slices.
  4. Add a dollop (about 1 tbs) of horseradish aioli sauce (get that recipe here).
  5. Top the sauce with your roast beef. Amount is up to you but I just tore the slices and used enough to cover the crostini.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic fig glaze overtop the beef.
  7. Top the beef crostini with green onion slices.

in a pinch instructions

This recipe is naturally an in a pinch style recipe since we use packaged roast beef. However, you could also shave some time using the following tips.
  1. Purchase the presliced crostini slices.
  2. Skip rubbing the garlic (not recommended since this adds so much flavor).
  3. Make sauces ahead of time or buy storebought aioli and balsamic glaze.

how to store beef crostini

Surprisingly, these beef crostini store very well in the fridge and are delicious heated up! Of course, they're much better fresh so I recommend making these right before serving.
Simply store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, either pop in the microwave, or 300-degree oven and heat until warmed through.

roast beef crostini Tips

  • Quality roast beef - like Boar's Head, or the fresh sliced roast beef from the deli.
  • Garlic rub - Rubbing the garlic on the toasted crostini makes all the difference.
  • Pre-prep sauces - Make the sauces ahead of time so when you have to prepare the appetizer it's even easier. This also gives the sauces time to marinate and develop their flavors.
