Crostini is an Italian term for toasted bread slices with a savory topping. They are typically served as an appetizer, though this recipe is like a mini version of the classic roast beef with horseradish sauce you might find on a sideboard buffet. The convenience of using sliced-to-order deli roast beef makes this deliciousness come together fast. You can swap watercress or mäche for the arugula if you prefer or top with a sprinkling of fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
