What is more luxe than caviar? It’s a favorite of mine and a dollop of it instantly makes for a decadent treat! This smoked salmon caviar blini is a classic in its simplicity and instantly can take your appetizer game up a notch. Oh! Did I mention that it is literally assembly only?? Pop the bubbly on that note!
This would make for a fab appetizer for specially occasions (celebrations, new years, etc) or just because. Pair with a glass of champagne and enjoy!
Smoked Salmon Caviar Blinis
Ingredients:
- Smoked Salmon – thinly sliced
- Crème Fraîche – if you don’t have crème fraîche you can use sour cream
- Caviar – I prefer sturgeon, but I picked up russian osetrawhich is also good
- Blinis (You can make them, but I buy them)
- Fresh dill sprigs for garnish
Top blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche, a little caviar and garnish with fresh dill if you have it. Pair with a glass of champagne and it is a luxe treat to bring in 2019!
Crème Fraîche vs. Sour Cream
“Crème fraîche, pronounced krehm-fresh, is a very thick soured cream. It is produced from unpasteurized milk and is packed with natural bacteria. In the fermentation period, the lactic acid (natural bacteria) transforms the cream into a thickening agent. In Australia, the use of unpasteurized milk is illegal due to health regulations so the fermentation method is artificial.
There isn’t a huge difference in sour cream and creme fraiche. They both have rich and tangy flavours and can be easily substituted in recipes for one another” (Women’s Health)
