Ingredients

8-ounces beef tenderloin steak, trimmed of fat, and cut into a very small dice

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

2 tablespoons finely chopped cornichon pickles

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 small wedge Asiago cheese (about 1 ounce), finely grated

5 slices sourdough bread, cut into bite-size circles

Olive oil, for brushing bread

Mache, for garnish

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, shallots, and pickles, and mix well. Add the egg yolk, mustard, and season with salt, and pepper. After mixing, give the mixture a taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Stir in half the Asiago cheese. Keep the mixture chilled.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Place the bread rounds on a large baking sheet. Brush the bread rounds with oil and season with salt, and pepper. Toast the bread in the oven for a few minutes, until light brown.
Top each bread round with about 1 1/2 teaspoons beef mixture. Grate the cheese over the top and garnish with a sprig of mache.
