Ingredients
16 thin slices white bread
Lemon-Black Pepper Cream Cheese
1 cup very thinly sliced radishes
1 cup very thinly sliced English cucumber
Thin lemon zest strips, for garnish
Directions
Pat the sliced radishes and cucumber dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and ensure they maintain their crispness.
Arrange the 16 bread slices on a clean work surface.
Spread each bread slice with a thin, even layer of lemon-black pepper cream cheese.
Layer the very thinly sliced radishes over the cream cheese on each slice, arranging them in an overlapping pattern.
Top the radishes with very thinly sliced cucumber, also arranged in overlapping layers for visual appeal.
Garnish each sandwich with a few thin strips of lemon zest.
Serve immediately while the bread is crisp and the vegetables are cool and fresh.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte grocer—white bread, cream cheese, radishes, English cucumbers, and lemon are all reliably in stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, or Walmart year-round. Cost per serving is negligible, under 50 cents, since sixteen open-faced sandwiches yield modest portions from inexpensive basics. The stated 15 minutes is honest for assembly only, though slicing radishes and cucumbers thin enough to arrange nicely will add 5 minutes if you lack a mandoline. This is a fussy appetizer that demands plating care and attention to presentation, making it less suitable for a harried weeknight but perfect for a light lunch or gathering, and leftovers will wilt by the next day.
