Caviar Beggar's Purse Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

    Prepare the Wonton Wrappers

  2. 2

    Shape the Purse

    Place a teaspoon of crème fraîche in the center of each wonton wrapper. Gather the edges together and pinch to form a purse shape.

    Cook the Purse

    In a pot of boiling water, gently place the purses and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and let cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Place the purses on a serving plate. Top each purse with a small dollop of caviar and a sprinkle of finely chopped chives.
