Ingredients
140-g roll goat cheese, or 125-g pkg cream cheese
2 to 4 tbsp hot sauce, such as Dan T's Spiced Cayenne Sauce
1/3 cup black olives, pitted
2 sweet red bell peppers
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 long French baguette
1 small bunch arugula or spinach
250 g sliced roast beef
Instructions
Stir cheese with hot sauce to taste. Pit olives and cut into chunks. Seed and thinly slice red peppers. Heat oil in a large frying pan set over medium heat. Add peppers and garlic. Sauté, stirring often, until peppers are softened, about 10 minutes.
Adjust rack about 4 inches (10 cm) from broiler and preheat. Slice baguette crosswise into 1/4-inch- (0.5-cm-) thick slices. You should have toppings for about 32 slices. Lay slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast under broiler, about 2 minutes per side.
Spread slices with cheese mixture. Cover with a piece of arugula. Add a slice of beef. Scatter with a few sautéed peppers. Dot with several pieces of olive. Serve right away or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 hours.
