Buttered Radish Tartines

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, preferably a good French butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped black olives (such as niçoise)
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• Dash of crushed red pepper
• 16 (1/4-ounce) slices whole-grain French bread baguette
• 8 to 10 radishes, very thinly sliced
• 1/8 teaspoon fleur de sel or other coarse sea salt

Place butter, olives, parsley, thyme, and red pepper in a small bowl; mash with a spoon to combine. Spread butter mixture evenly over bread slices; top with radish slices. Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve immediately.
