1cupthinly sliced radishesThis is about 6 radishes, give or take
Instructions
Slice the baguette into thin 1/2-inch slices and set them aside on a serving platter.
Slice your radishes, preferably on the thinnest or second to thinnest setting on your mandolin; set aside. Roughly chop the chives into tiny bits and set those aside too. Finally, roughly chop the anchovy fillets into small bits.
In a small bowl, mix the room temperature butter with the chopped anchovy fillets and about a tablespoon of chopped chives until well blended.
Smear about 2 teaspoons-worth, more or less, of the anchovy butter over the baguette slices, then top with the radish slices and garnish with chives. Serve immediately!
Notes
Storage: These baguette slices are best enjoyed fresh the day that they’re made. Leftover anchovy butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. It's great tossed with noodles or used in sauces!
