Cucumber, Radish & Watercress Sandwiches With Truffled Goat Cheese

9oz soft fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup chopped watercress
1 tsp truffle oil
12 very thin slices white bread
1 bunch radishes, very thinly sliced
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, thinly sliced

1) Blend goat cheese, watercress, and truffle oil in processor until just combined. Season with salt and pepper. Place bread slices on work surface. Spread each with goat cheese mixture, dividing equally. Set aside 24 radish slices for garnish. Top 6 bread slices with cucumber slices, then remaining radish slices. Sprinkle with pepper. Top with remaining bread slices, cheese side down. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Wrap individually in paper towels; chill.)
2) Trim sandwich crusts. Cut each sandwich into 4 squares. Transfer to platter. Top each with 1 radish slice and serve.

Review: I made this a little differently. Instead of actually making sandwiches, I sliced up a baguette and topped it with the cheese mixture, then cucumber, then radish. They were a big hit at my tea party today. :)
