Blinis with Caviar

Some of the most elegant aperitif bites are also the simplest, relying on exceptional ingredients and a thoughtful balance of flavour and texture. Warm blinis, cool crème fraîche and fine caviar create a timeless combination, equally suited to welcoming guests, marking a special occasion or elevating a shared glass at the table.

These Kaviari cocktail blinis are gently warmed, topped with a smooth layer of crème fraîche and finished with Kaviari Prestige Oscietra Caviar. The delicate, briny pearls and subtle nutty notes of Oscietra are balanced by the mild tang of the crème fraîche and the soft warmth of the blini. Kaviari recommends serving its Ossetra Prestige caviar with warm blinis and a light touch of crème fraîche.

Blinis with Caviar

Ingredients

  • 4 Cocktail blinis
  • 60 ml crème fraîche
  • 50 g Kaviari Prestige Oscietra Caviar, chilled

Directions

  1. Warm the blinis:
    Warm the blinis in a dry non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat for about 30–60 seconds on each side, until soft and heated through.

  2. Add the crème fraîche:
    Place a generous spoonful of crème fraîche on each blini. Smooth it gently with the back of a spoon. Arrange them attractively on a serving dish.

  3. Top with caviar and serve:
    Keep the caviar chilled until ready to serve, and use a mother-of-pearl, horn or non-metal spoon to portion it. Spoon the chilled caviar gently over the crème fraîche, using a mother-of-pearl, horn or non-metal spoon. Serve immediately.
