Ingredients
- 12 pieces Pickled okra
- 8 slices Rustic bread (such as sourdough or whole-grain)
- 1 cup Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Fresh arugula
- 4 slices per sandwich Sliced radishes
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the bread. If desired, lightly toast the 8 slices of bread to give them a crispy texture. You can spread butter on the bread before toasting for extra flavor.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Add the salt and black pepper, and mix again.
Step 3
Prepare the pickled okra by slicing each piece lengthwise to create two halves. If the okra is particularly large, you may quarter each piece instead.
Step 4
Take one slice of bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over it. Repeat this step for each slice of bread.
Step 5
On four of the slices, place a handful of fresh arugula over the cream cheese layer.
Step 6
Add 3 pieces of sliced pickled okra (halved or quartered) on top of the arugula for each of these sandwiches.
Step 7
Add a layer of thinly sliced radishes (about 4 slices per sandwich) on top of the okra for a fresh, crunchy texture.
Step 8
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, spread-side down, to create a closed sandwich. Press down gently to keep the fillings in place.
Step 9
Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally for a café-style presentation. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper for later.
