Ham and Cheese Tartines

• 1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 pound cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 6 slices (1/2 inch thick) sourdough bread, cut from an oval loaf
• 4 ounces cooked ham, cut into 12 slices
• 3 to 4 red radishes, very thinly sliced

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. In a food processor, pulse half the Gruyere cheese and all the cream cheese until smooth, about 30 seconds.
3. Transfer the mixture to a small mixing bowl.
4. Fold in the thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Set aside.
6. Place the bread on a baking sheet, and toast in the middle of oven, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides, about 12 minutes.
7. Spread the reserved cheese mixture on each slice of toast, dividing evenly, and sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere.
8. Place 2 slices of ham on each toast.
9. Arrange the radishes on top, and serve.
