Recipe and tips
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of artisan bread
- 100g cream cheese
- 6-8 radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: olive oil for toasting the bread
Preparation:
- Toast the bread in a pan or toaster. For an extra crunchy touch, lightly brush the slices with olive oil. Toast the slices until golden brown.
- Spread the toasted slices with cream cheese. You can use classic cream cheese or a variant, such as herb-infused cheese, for extra flavour.
- Add the radishes: arrange the thinly sliced radishes evenly over the cream cheese. The radishes provide a crunchy texture and a fresh flavour.
- Finish with chives: sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the radishes. The chives add a delightful freshness that completes the dish.
- Season: add a pinch of salt and pepper. For an extra twist, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a few drops of olive oil.
Variations and tips:
- Additional vegetables: try using slices of cucumber or avocado for an even fresher, creamier variation.
- Spicy touch: do you like a bit of heat? A pinch of chili flakes or freshly ground black pepper can add a spicy kick.
- Herb mix: Sprinkle some fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, for extra flavour and a lovely green touch.
