Russian Blini with Caviar
Russian Blini with Caviar
Looking to splurge a little money for an amazing appetizer? Well I have a recipe for you then! Russian blini are small pancakes topped with creme fraiche, caviar, and dill. The caviar I used is a Russian golden osetra sturgeon caviar. You can use any type of caviar depending on how much you want to spend. Another way to to top the blini would be to use cream cheese, smoked salmon, and dill. Both are good either way you go.
