Radish and Herb Butter Tea Sandwiches
Bring the British tradition home with these Radish and Herb Butter Tea Sandwiches. Crisp, creamy, and elegant—the ultimate seasonal afternoon tea finger food.
Ingredients
For the herb butter:
- 1 cup (226 grams) salted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons chives chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh dill chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
- Salt to taste depending on how salty your butter is
For the sandwiches:
- 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
Make the herb butter:
- 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.
Assemble the sandwiches:
- 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.
- On half of the bread slices, arrange the radish slices in a slightly overlapping pattern. Top with a handful of fresh microgreens or watercress.
- Top the radishes with the remaining bread slices. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut off the crusts and slice into neat rectangles (fingers).
Optional Presentation:
- 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.
