Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh radishes
- 15 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the radishes thoroughly and slice them thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set aside.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and reserve a few whole ones for garnish, if desired.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, softened butter, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and spreadable.
Fold the chopped mint leaves into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Lay the slices of bread on a clean cutting board. Spread an even layer of the mint and cream cheese mixture over each slice.
Arrange the sliced radishes on half of the bread slices, slightly overlapping them for a decorative effect.
Top the radish-covered slices with the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a clean, elegant look.
Cut each sandwich into quarters, either into squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
If desired, garnish the platter with the reserved whole mint leaves and serve immediately.
