Radish and Cream Cheese Sandwich

One year when we had grown more radishes than we could eat, a friend from Switzerland suggested radish and cream cheese sandwiches. It seemed strange, but we thought we’d give it a try. And, guess what? We were pleasantly surprised by this unusual combination, and now look forward to a plethora of radishes every spring and fall!

And thanks to the same friend for sending us photos to use. Isn’t this beautiful?

You will not be disappointed by this simple, yet unusual combination. The crisp texture and spicy flavor contrast beautifully with cream cheese. Use regular or Neufchâtel, which is a lower-fat cream cheese. We serve this as 2 open face sandwiches, or cut into smaller pieces as appetizers.

3. Thinly slice the radishes and scatter over the cream cheese.
4. Sprinkle a pinch of nice, coarse salt (if available) over the radishes.

6. Serve open face.

These also work as appetizers. Cut bread into 2-inch x 2-inch squares, or buy bread that comes in the size. Make as many as you want!
