A pretty and romantic little hors d’oeuvre that combines the jeweled luxury of caviar with the creamy pink of radish cream cheese. Perfect for a wedding celebration.

Yield: 60 hors d’oeuvres

INGREDIENTS

12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1½ cups finely minced radishes
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 loaf very thinly sliced white bread
6 ounces red salmon caviar
Fresh parsley sprigs

Directions

1. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the radishes, chives, horseradish, and salt and pepper to taste until blended. Refrigerate until firm.

2. Preheat oven to 325°F.

3. Cut sixty 1-inch hearts with a cookie cutter from the bread slices. Place in a single layer on baking sheets and bake until lightly toasted. Turn and toast the second side.

4. Spread each toast heart with a thin layer of the radish cream cheese. Place ½ teaspoon of the salmon caviar on the top center of each heart. Garnish each heart with a little parsley sprig.
