Radish and Herb Butter Tea Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 1 cup (226 grams) salted butter (softened to room temperature)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chives (chopped)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• Salt to taste (depending on how salty your butter is)
• 8 large slices of white and/or brown bread slices (the contrast makes for a nice presentation)
• 8 radishes (thinly sliced)
• Micro greens or greens of your choice

Instructions

1. 1

   --- Make the herb butter: ---

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the chives, dill, and parsley. Mix well and set aside at room temperature to keep it spreadable.

3. 3

   --- Assemble the sandwiches: ---

4. 4

   Lay out the bread slices and spread an even layer of the herb butter onto every slice. This creates a "moisture barrier" that keeps the bread from getting soggy.

5. 5

   On half of the bread slices, arrange the radish slices in a slightly overlapping pattern. Top with a handful of fresh microgreens or watercress.

6. 6

   Top the radishes with the remaining bread slices. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut off the crusts and slice into neat rectangles (fingers).

   For a more modern look, you can also serve these open-faced by skipping the top slice of bread and letting the vibrant radishes and greens shine.
