Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content.

Chill the radishes in ice water for a few minutes before slicing to make them extra crisp.

If you don't have sea salt flakes, coarse kosher salt can be used as a substitute, but use it sparingly.

This tartine is best enjoyed fresh, as the radishes can dry out if left for too long.
