Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly mix the butter, minced anchovy fillets, and 2 tablespoons chives. You can add another minced anchovy fillet to taste, if needed.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Spread anchovy butter over one side of each baguette slice.
Top each baguette slice with radish slices, overlapping slightly to cover bread.
Garnish with additional chopped chives, and serve.
Notes
If you don't like anchovies you can substitute them for 1 TBSP of capers, drained. Once you thoroughly mix the butter with the capers, taste and add more capers (or some brine) until you reach desired level of saltiness/briny-ness.
