Cucumber Radish And Watercress Sandwiches With Truffled Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, butter, Parmesan, lemon juice and garlic in a small food processor and process until very smooth and light. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the chives, parsley and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled but still spreadable, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the bread on a baking sheet and bake, flipping the pieces once, until lightly toasted but not colored, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, spread the cheese mixture on the toasts. Top with the sliced cucumber and radishes and garnish with dill sprigs.

Spread each with goat cheese mixture, dividing equally. Set aside 24 radish slices for garnish. Top 6 bread slices with cucumber slices, then remaining radish slices. Sprinkle with pepper. Top with remaining bread slices, cheese side down. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Wrap individually in paper towels; chill.)
• Trim sandwich crusts. Cut each sandwich into 4 squares. Transfer to platter. Top each with 1 radish slice and serve.
