CAVIAR TORTE

Steps:

• Mix the bottom layer ingredients and put in an 8 inch springform pan.
• Put middle layer on top of that; and then mix top layer ingredients and put on top.
• Chill overnight.
• Use a cookie cutter on top and fill with caviar to make a nice design.
• We used a heart shape at the wedding and filled it with salmon roe and made a nice design of salmon roe around the border-- one of our colors was orange for the wedding so it looked lovely.
• I've also seen this with small red caviar in the middle in a heart shape with black caviar all around the edges-- gorgeous.
• remove the sides of the springform pan to serve with crackers.

CAVIAR TART

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup sour cream in a paper-towel-lined sieve set over a bowl, then let drain, covered with plastic wrap and chilled, 3 hours.
• Stir together remaining 1/4 cup sour cream, eggs, onion, butter, dill, zest, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon chives until combined well.
• Invert bottom of springform pan (so that turned-up edge is underneath for easy removal of tart) and close side of pan around bottom. Spread egg mixture evenly in pan with offset spatula, smoothing top. Cover surface with plastic wrap, pressing gently, and chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
• Spread drained sour cream evenly over egg mixture with offset spatula.
• Gently spread half of caviar on several sheets of paper towels to absorb excess cuttlefish ink. Carefully lift caviar from paper towels and spread on top of egg mixture (be careful not to smash caviar). Repeat method with remaining caviar. Serve cut into wedges and sprinkled with remaining chives, if desired.

CAVIAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook butter in a very small saucepan over moderate heat, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown (be careful not to let it burn). Keep butter warm.
• Spread each pancake with about 1 tablespoon sour cream (to taste) and top with about 1 teaspoon caviar. Sprinkle with some of yolk and scallion. Stack 3 pancakes on each of 2 plates and drizzle with brown butter.

CORN CAKES AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• 1. Puree the corn and cream; transfer to a bowl. Stir in cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper; mix in eggs and butter to make a batter.
• 2. Place oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add batter to the skillet in heaping tablespoons. Cook until corn cakes are golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Continue, adding more oil to the skillet as necessary. (Batter makes about 30 cakes.)
• 3. To serve, arrange 3 corn cakes on each of 8 plates. Top each with 1 teaspoon of crème fraîche and a small dollop of caviar.

CORNCAKES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels from the cobs, enough to produce 2 cups. Put the kernels in a food processor and add 2 tablespoons milk. Blend until a little of the texture is left. There should be about 1 1/4 cups.
• Put the corn in a mixing bowl and add the remaining milk, the flour, 1/4 cup melted butter and the cornmeal, stirring to blend well.
• Add the eggs, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of the chopped chives, salt and pepper and blend thoroughly.
• Heat the other 1/4 cup butter, preferably clarified, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter at a time into the skillet without letting the cakes touch. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Turn and cook on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve 4 slightly overlapping corncakes on each of 6 salad plates. Add a mound of crème fraîche in the center of the plate. Spoon 1 tablespoon golden caviar on top of the crème fraîche and 1 teaspoon black caviar on top of the golden caviar. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped chives and serve.
