About Concordance™

Heat oven to 375ºF. Brush both sides of bread slices with oil. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 5 minutes or until crisp. Cool 5 minutes.

Spread cream cheese over each slice. Top with beef; sprinkle with pepper. Top each with tomato slice and onions.

Do-Ahead Tip The bread can be toasted up to a day ahead of time. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Variation Use sliced smoked turkey breast instead of the roast beef.

Substitution Any savory-flavored cream cheese, such as cream cheese with chives and onions, can be used in place of the roasted garlic cream cheese.

Special Touch Sprinkle drained capers over the cream cheese.
