  • 1 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning

  • 8 oz (240 ml) sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (30 ml)

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (120 ml)

How to Make Savory Beef Tenderloin Crostini

  1. In a bowl, mix blue cheese crumbles, horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

  2. Melt the butter in a frying pan over low-medium heat. Add the sliced onions and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. Slice the French baguette into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) slices. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Broil in the oven until golden brown and crispy.

  4. Arrange the toasted baguette slices on a large platter. Spread a layer of the blue cheese mixture on each slice, add a few leaves of spring mix salad, layer on the beef tenderloin slices, and finish with caramelized onions on top.

  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
