radish butter with egg soldiers recipePam Lloyd PR Radish Recipes (7th December 2010)

Ingredients

50g butter, softened
6 French breakfast radishes
4 slices rye bread
4 medium eggs (at room temperature)

Step by step

  1. Grate the radishes on a fine grater and place in a bowl lined with kitchen roll (this will absorb any liquid that comes out of the radishes). Beat the butter with a fork until its very soft then add the radishes and combine well with a good twist of black pepper and a generous pinch of sea salt.
  2. Bring a pan of water to a simmer, add the eggs and simmer for 3 mins then put the lid on and turn off the heat, leave to stand for 2 mins.
  3. In the meantime toast the bread and whilst still warm spread generously with the radish butter. Cut the slices into soldiers and serve with the soft-boiled egg.

Notes:

If you make the butter in advance keep it in the fridge then bring back to room temperature and beat again before spreading.
