Can I use a different cheese?
Yes. Try Emmental, Tilsit, or even a sharp cheddar. Avoid very soft cheeses like Brie—they'll slide off the dense rye.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What if I can't find dark rye bread?
Use pumpernickel or a seeded whole-grain bread. White bread won't work here—you need the structure and acidity to support the toppings.
How far ahead can I prep this?
Assemble just before serving. Radishes will weep and make the bread soggy if left sitting more than 10 minutes.
