• To assemble: Spread horseradish cream cheese on one side of bread slices, then top with one slice of beef, one slice of tomato and a sprinkle of basil.
• Make ahead tips:.
• Bread can be prepared several days ahead. Keep in an airtight container. Beef can be grilled or roasted the day before. The horseradish cream cheese and the tomatoes and basil can be prepared several hours in advance. Keep beef, cream cheese and veggies covered and refrigerated until about an hour before. Bruschetta can be assembled at that time. The cream cheese keeps the bread from getting limp.
