Ingredients
- Radishes, sliced
- Ricotta cheese
- Bread (your choice)
- Butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at room temperature.
- Slice radishes thinly using a sharp knife, creating delicate, translucent rounds. Set aside.
- Take your chosen bread and lightly toast it until golden brown and crisp on the edges, achieving a nice crunch.
- While bread is still warm, spread a generous layer of softened butter across the entire surface, allowing it to slightly melt into the toast.
- Spread a thick, creamy layer of ricotta cheese over the buttered toast, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully arrange the thinly sliced radishes on top of the ricotta, overlapping them slightly for an elegant presentation.
- Sprinkle a pinch of high-quality sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the radishes to enhance their flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs like chives, dill, or parsley to add a burst of color and aromatic freshness.
- Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the radishes are crisp.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, fresh ingredients—they make all the difference in this simple yet elegant dish.
- Use room temperature butter for easier spreading and better absorption into the toast.
- Slice radishes as thinly as possible for a delicate, translucent appearance. A sharp mandoline can help achieve uniform, paper-thin slices.
- Select a hearty bread that can withstand the moisture of butter and ricotta without becoming soggy.
- Season generously but carefully—the salt and pepper should enhance, not overpower, the delicate flavors.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a drizzle of high-quality olive oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast of warm toast and crisp radishes.
