Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme; stir well. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside. Grate radishes, carrots, and cucumber into separate bowls.

Use a serrated knife to trim crusts and cut in half diagonally into two triangles. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover with damp paper towels until ready to serve.

- Garnish the sandwiches with fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, before serving.
- For a sweeter sandwich, add a layer of fruit preserves or honey to the cream cheese mixture.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat, rye, or pumpernickel.
