Blinis with Salmon and Caviar
This post is not a recipe but rather a collection of ingredients which make up a delicious little appetizer. I first had this at my Danish friend Tina’s house and I was immediately hooked. It consist of these wonderful mini pancakes called Blinis which are Russian in origin and traditionally made of buckwheat flour and yeast. However, the ones I got a hold of was actually French Blinis which have no buckwheat flour in them. I choose to serve the Blinis at room temperature but you can warm them up a little if you so choose. Then add the following toppings of your choice; slice of smoked Salmon, sliced hard-boiled egg, dollop of sour cream and top off with caviar. I just love the rude popping sensation against the roof of my mouth from the caviar, delicious!
Blini topping ideas:
Salmon, hard-boiled egg, sour cream and caviar
Chopped strawberries marinated in balsamic vinegar
Brie and fruit preserves
Chopped, cooked fresh apples with cinnamon
Creme Fraiche, minced red onion, smoked salmon and dill

Wow, love these…probably could just eat a plate full 🙂
A great classic combination!
How can you do this to me? it is 9:30 pm, I am in front of my computer and it is all I can do not to go and break in our (closed since 6 pm) general store and steal some smoked salmon. Amazing! My mouth is watering! this reminds me of a tower of bigger, thinner crèpes layered with cream chease, smoked salmon and dill that my husband and I made once for a special occasion. Yum!
Me too, I want to come over! I’ve never had these before! Easy, I like that!
