Ingredients List
Important Notes
Do not discard the bread crusts and trimmings; pulse them in a food processor to make excellent fresh breadcrumbs.
Ensure the onions and radishes are sliced as thinly as possible to create a delicate and balanced texture.
Use softened, room-temperature butter to avoid tearing the bread when spreading.
Parsley or chives can be used interchangeably depending on your flavor preference.
