Salt-cured preserved lemon and chives add a lot of complexity to this simple appetizer. You can pick up the roasted beets at your specialty grocery store deli, or roast your own. If you're doubling or tripling the recipe for a party, you can set out the toppings and the grilled toasts brushed with olive oil to let your guests build their own.
