Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices baguette (or other crusty bread)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter good quality, softened to room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives minced, plus more for garnish
  • flaky sea salt such as Maldon, for sprinkling
  • 6-8 small-medium radishes sliced into paper thin coins
  • chive flowers optional, or other small edible flowers for garnish

Method
 

  1. Place the slices of bread in the toaster or toaster oven and toast until just lightly golden brown.
  2. While the bread toasts, mix together the softened butter and chives until fully combined.
  3. Remove the bread from the toaster and allow to cool for a few minutes so the butter doesn't melt.
  4. Divide the butter amongst the 6 toasts and spread it out into an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt, then arrange the radish slices over top.
  6. Arrange the toasts on a platter and sprinkle with a tiny bit more sea salt, chopped chives and edible flowers. Serve immediately.
