For extra pizzazz, use seasoned roast beef, which is available in your supermarket's deli case. You can make the relish ahead, but assemble the crostini just before serving. Ingredients:
1 (7-ounce) bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped (about 2/3 cup) |
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil |
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
48 (1/4-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut french bread baguette |
olive oil-flavored cooking spray |
1 (6.5-ounce) container light garlic-and-herbs spreadable cheese (such as alouette light) |
1/2 pound shaved deli roast beef |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; stir well.
3. Coat both sides of bread slices with cooking spray. Place half of bread slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Broil 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly toasted. Repeat procedure with remaining bread.
4. Spread 1 teaspoon cheese over 1 side of each slice of bread. Divide beef evenly among bread slices; top each with 1 teaspoon bell pepper mixture. Serve immediately.
