Radish and Butter Crostini

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, prepare your ingredients.
2. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. You may need to use more than one sheet to fit all the slices without overlapping.
3. Place the baguette slices in the oven and toast them for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp. This will be your crostini base. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
4. While the bread is toasting, wash the radishes thoroughly and pat them dry with a towel. Slice them as thinly as possible to maintain a crisp texture.
5. In a small bowl, soften the butter further by giving it a quick stir with a spoon or spatula. This will make it easier to spread.
6. Once the crostini are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are comfortable to handle with your hands.
7. Spread a generous layer of softened butter on each crostini slice. Be sure to cover the entire surface to enhance the flavor.
8. Top the buttered crostini with an even layer of sliced radishes. Try to distribute the radishes so that each crostini has an even amount for consistent taste.
9. Sprinkle each crostini with a pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper. This will enhance the flavors of the butter and radishes.
10. As a final touch, garnish the crostini with chopped fresh chives for an added layer of flavor and a pop of color.
11. Arrange the radish and butter crostini on a serving platter and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
