- Spread a generous layer of the gingery sesame butter mixture evenly across each slice of baguette.
- Arrange a few slices of radish on top of the butter on half of the baguette slices.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the radish slices, ensuring even coverage.
- Place another slice of buttered baguette on top of each radish-covered slice to form a sandwich.
- Once assembled, you can leave the sandwiches as they are or cut each one into smaller pieces for easier handling and a more traditional tea sandwich presentation.
- Arrange the Gingery Radish-Chive Tea Sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh.
- For an added touch, you can garnish the platter with extra chives or a few whole radishes.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and crunchy radishes to ensure the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to make it easier to spread.
- Finely chop the chives and ginger for a more even distribution of flavors.
- Toast the baguette slices lightly if you prefer a firmer sandwich base.
- Prepare the radish slices just before assembling to keep them crisp and prevent them from releasing too much moisture.

The combination of flavors is both refreshing and satisfying, making them a perfect accompaniment to your tea or as a light snack. Enjoy the delightful crunch of the radishes and the aromatic blend of chives and ginger in every bite.
