Radish Tea Sandwiches Recipes

RADISH TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese in center of each slice of bread, spreading to the top and bottom, leaving a 3/4-inch border on sides. Layer half of bread slices with radish slices, overlapping slightly.
• Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; top with lettuce and remaining bread slices (cream cheese side down) to make 4 sandwiches. With a serrated knife, trim off crusts; cut each sandwich in half. Serve.

HERBED CHEESE CUCUMBER AND RADISH TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, butter, Parmesan, lemon juice and garlic in a small food processor and process until very smooth and light. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the chives, parsley and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled but still spreadable, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the bread on a baking sheet and bake, flipping the pieces once, until lightly toasted but not colored, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, spread the cheese mixture on the toasts. Top with the sliced cucumber and radishes and garnish with dill sprigs.

• Cut crusts from bread and cut into small squares or rounds. Spread with filling, and garnish with sliced or whole radishes coated with coarse salt.
• Chill thoroughly before serving.
