Ingredients
- 6 thin slices baguette or other crusty bread
- 3 tablespoons good quality unsalted butter softened to room temperature*
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives plus more for garnish

- chive flowers kale flowers, arugula flowers or other small edible flowers for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the slices of bread in the toaster or toaster oven and toast until just lightly golden brown. You can also bake the toast in a 350 degree F oven for 5-8 minutes.
- While the bread toasts, mix together the softened butter and chives until fully combined.
- Remove the bread from the toaster and allow to cool for a few minutes so the butter doesn't melt.
- Divide the butter amongst the 6 toasts and spread it out into an even layer.
- Sprinkle lightly with sea salt, then arrange the radish slices over top.
- Arrange the toasts on a platter and sprinkle with a tiny bit more sea salt, chopped chives and edible flowers. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Make sure the toasts have cooled completely before spreading the butter, otherwise it will melt.
- Use a top quality, fresh European style or cultured butter for best results.
- Edible flowers are optional and just for garnish, but if you have a garden they're easy to incorporate! Different herbs like chives, sage and tarragon all flower in the spring, as well as brassicas like kale, broccoli and collards!
