In Season - Open-face butter and radish sandwiches

Open faced butter and radish sandwiches are a perfect combination of fresh, crisp radishes and crunch from sea salt.

I know this may sound odd upon first impression, but give this recipe a chance. Perfect if you're looking to switch up hors d'oeuvres at a upcoming party or even just a snack- these open faced sandwiches combine the fresh, crisp taste of the radish with the crunch of sea salt. Both butter and salt will mellow out the bite a radish tends to have.

Tip: A mandoline will become your best friend if you have one for this recipe.

  • 2 1/2 bunches radishes, trimmed
  • Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 20 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices baguette
  • Maldon sea salt or coarse kosher salt
Place radishes in medium bowl of ice water and chill at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Drain radishes and slice thinly.

Spread butter generously over baguette slices and sprinkle lightly with sea salt or coarse kosher salt. Arrange radish slices atop butter baguette slices and serve.

I even introduced my neighbor kids to radish and butter sammies a few years ago and they insist on growing radishes in their own garden now. I don't think they had ever tasted radishes until I pulled up a few for them. LOL Such a yummy garden treat.
