Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Caviar — Handle caviar with care to preserve its delicate texture. Use a non-metallic spoon to scoop the caviar onto the canapé shells to avoid any metallic taste.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra touch of luxury, serve the canapés with a small dollop of crème fraîche instead of sour cream.
  • Experiment with different types of caviar, such as Beluga, Osetra, or Sevruga, to discover your favorite flavor profile.
  • To add a hint of freshness, sprinkle some finely chopped dill over the canapés before serving.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can use cucumber slices or small lettuce leaves as a base instead of canapé shells.
  • Serve the canapés chilled for a refreshing twist.

Serving advice

Arrange the Russian Caviar Canapés on a platter and serve them as an elegant appetizer at cocktail parties, special occasions, or as part of a luxurious brunch spread.

Presentation advice

To enhance the visual appeal, garnish the platter with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, and place lemon wedges strategically around the canapés. Use a white or silver serving tray to create a sophisticated and elegant presentation.
