Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 slices dark rye bread or saldskābmaize, grainy bread or sourdough
  • 1 to 2 tsp softened butter, optional (optional)
  • 3/4 cup 6 oz plain cottage cheese
  • 3 to 4 radishes
  • Flaky salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp parsley (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Slice the bread and toast it, if you like.
  • If using butter, spread a thin layer over each slice.
  • Spread 3 to 4 heaped tablespoons of cottage cheese over each slice.
  • Slice the radishes into thin rounds, about 2 mm (1/16 inch), and overlap them on top of the cottage cheese.
  • Season with flaky salt and black pepper, making sure some salt lands on the radishes.
  • Sprinkle generously with chopped dill, chives and parsley (if using). Serve right away.

Notes

  • Butter under the cottage cheese keeps the bread from going soggy if the cottage cheese is wet or the sandwiches need to be made in advance.
  • Swap dill and chives for parsley or green onion tops. Farmer's cheese, quark or ricotta can replace cottage cheese.
  • For a cucumber radish sandwich, add thin cucumber slices under the radishes.
  • Best eaten fresh, but they’ll keep for a few hours in the fridge if you lightly butter the bread first. Add the salt and herbs just before serving.
  • For appetizers, cut the bread into 1 to 2 inch (2 1/2 - 5 cm) squares and top each with a teaspoon or two of cottage cheese, some radish slices, salt, pepper and herbs.
