Why This Recipe Works

This quick Roast Beef Canapés recipe combines prepared ingredients in a balanced combination. Allowing the Boursin cheese to come to room temperature before preparing the canapés ensures a spreadable consistency. We bought very thinly sliced roast beef at the deli counter; thicker slices made the canapés too chewy and hard to eat.
