Bites: Beef Blue Cheese Crostini

If you have leftover beef tenderloin and are wondering what to do with it, I’ve got you. Don’t worry and whatever you do, DO NOT throw away any leftover beef tenderloin. There’s so many things you can do with it! Make a hash, pho soup or these cute little crostini!

My vote goes for inviting a few close friends or couples over, pick up a couple bottles of wine and settle in for a night of flavor-packed appetizers, board games and good times. I guarantee you these apps will be loved by all.

OR you could make these little crostini bites and call it lunch. Either way it’s a win-win.

To Make these Beef Blue Cheese Crostini Bites Gather:

• French baguette
• leftover horseradish sauce
• baby arugula
• thinly sliced beef tenderloin
• blue cheese
• chives

Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃) and spray a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.

Slice a 13 ounce French baguette into 1/4-inch (or approximately) and place on the prepared pan. My baguette turned out to be exactly 36 slices. Spray the tops of the bread with olive oil before baking on the middle rack for 4 to 6 minutes.

Top each crostini with a dollop of horseradish sauce.

Then a few leaves of baby arugula. This adds a flavor-packed peppery bite.

Lastly, top each one wit a thin slice of beef tenderloin, a shard of blue cheese and chives that were snipped about 1-inch in length.

Worth keeping these bites! The zippy horseradish, earthy beef and pungent blue cheese with the peppery arugula is notable! And goes great with red wine and the go-to of friends.
