Radish Butter Toasts: Fresh, Crunchy, and Effortlessly Elegant
Nothing beats the simple joy of Radish Butter Toasts—crisp radish slices on buttery bread, with just enough salt to make every bite sing. It’s a classic French-inspired snack that feels fancy but takes almost no effort. Perfect for brunch, a light lunch, or a quick appetizer when friends drop by.
The key to these toasts? Perfectly thin, even radish slices that stay crisp and let the butter shine. A quick pass with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater makes it effortless—no wobbly knife work needed.
🍞Ingredients (Serves 4 as a snack)
1 baguette or rustic bread, sliced thick
4–6 radishes (firm and fresh)
Unsalted butter, softened (or at room temperature)
Flaky sea salt (like Maldon)
Freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: chives or microgreens for garnish
🥄Step-by-Step: Radish Butter Toasts in 3 Moves
1. Slice the Radishes
Lock your hand crank cheese grater with its suction base. Insert the slicing blade. Feed in radishes—one smooth crank per paper-thin, even round. The uniform slices keep the texture crisp and let them sit perfectly on the bread.
2. Prep the Toast
Lightly toast the bread slices until golden. Spread a generous layer of softened butter on each slice while still warm—the butter melts just enough to soak in.
3. Assemble & Season
Arrange the radish slices in a single layer on the buttered toast. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Garnish with snipped chives if you like.
🌿Tips & Variations
Creamy Twist – Mix a little lemon zest into the butter for brightness.
Herb Boost – Add fresh dill or chive butter.
Spicy Kick – Top with a thin slice of jalapeño.
Make-Ahead – Slice radishes with Geedel and store in cold water for up to a day; drain and pat dry before using.
Bread Swap – Try rye or sourdough for extra flavor.
🥪Conclusion: Simple Elegance on Toast
These Radish Butter Toasts are proof that the best snacks are often the simplest—fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. The rotary grater makes slicing a breeze, so you can focus on enjoying every bite.
