​Heavy hors d'oeuvres - they're all the rage now.  You'll find them served at informal gatherings, parties and even wedding receptions now in place of a formal dinner.  Personally, I love it and I'm all for it.  As a guest, I like having a variety of foods to choose from and as a chef, making hors d'oeuvres gives me the opportunity to express my creativity.  Bites sized portions of food can be just as filling and satisfying as a big "sit-down" meal.  I made these Beef and Blue Crostini to take to a Christmas party last month and they were a bit hit.  They are more appealing to men than a chicken salad croissant and they pack a lot of flavor into two delicious bites.  
Beef and Blue Crostini 
12 (1/4-inch-thick) French bread slices
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons horseradish
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
7 ounces Deli Fresh Shaved Roast Beef, chopped
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
Freshly ground pepper
fresh chives

Preheat oven to 350°. Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted.
​
Top each bread slice with chopped roast beef, sour cream mixture, and blue cheese. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper.

​Meanwhile, stir together sour cream and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl.  Spread sour cream on each toasted baguette.

It's easy to make a whole tray of these delicious hors d'oeuvres.  I popped them into a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes before serving just to warm the beef and melt the cheese. 

Heavy hors d'oeuvres - it's what's for dinner.

Ciao!
