FESTIVE ROAST BEEF APPETIZER




Loving Christmas the way I do, I am always on the look out for great tasting foods to dress up a holiday table.   Red and green foods go a long way in adding a festive touch.  So when I attended  a party that served these open faced roast beef sandwiches with its tangy and spicy flavor, I knew I had found a new addition to my seasonal menu.  I have even placed them in the center of the table as the centerpiece food.  People really do rave about these sandwiches - going back for seconds, asking for the recipe as well as asking to take some home if there are any leftovers!

                                                             INGREDIENTS


                                           20  Pieces Deli Roast Beef (Thinly sliced)
                                                    1  Cup Red Raspberry Jam
                                                    2  Tablespoons Horseradish
                    4  Teaspoons Dijon Mustard + A little extra for covering open face bread
                                   10 Petite Croissants or 40 Pieces of Bread of choice
                                                   Parsley (Fresh) for Garnishing

Makes 40 appetizers 

STEP 1: Stir together 1 Cup Red Raspberry Jam, 2 Tablespoons Horseradish and 4 Teaspoons Dijon Mustard.



STEP 2: Cut Petite Croissants in half horizontally, then cut in half vertically so each croissant is now in 4 even pieces.


STEP 3:  Spread a thin layer of Dijon Mustard on open face of bread, then add approximately 1/2 teaspoon of Jam, Horseradish, Dijon Mustard mixture on top of the thin layer of Dijon Mustard.
     
Jam, Horseradish, Mustard Mixture (You will use 1/3 the mixture now and the remaining
2/3 in Step 5.)


STEP 4: Cut the 20 pieces of Roast Beef in half.  Roll a half slice of roast beef and place on top of jam, horseradish & mustard mixture.


STEP 5: Dollop a 2nd layer (remaining 2/3 or approximately 1 teaspoon) of Jam, Horseradish & Mustard Mixture on top of roast beef slice.  Garnish Parsley on top of Jam, Horseradish, Mustard Mixture.
