PETITS PLATES

1

Warm the blinis

Briefly warm the fresh blinis in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, turning once, until just warm.

2

Prepare crème fraîche base

In a small bowl, whisk the crème fraîche with lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper until smooth.

3

Assemble

Spoon a small amount of the crème fraîche mixture onto each blini, spreading it into a thin layer.

4

Add caviar

Top each blini with a small mound of caviar, letting your preferred amount show above the crème fraîche.

5

Garnish

Scatter finely chopped chives over the blinis. Optional: a tiny squeeze of lemon juice and a light lemon zest for brightness.

6

Serve

Arrange on a chilled platter and serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm blinis and cool caviar.
