Simple and Easy Caviar Dishes
Hors d’oeuvres & Appetisers
1. Caviar and Smoked Salmon Canapes
In the realm of gastronomy, the marriage of caviar and smoked salmon is the perfect pairing. The salty taste of caviar complements the smokiness of the salmon, and with this simple recipe you will surely impress your family and friends.
To make these canapés, start by preparing thin slices of baguette or crackers as the base. Spread cream cheese or crème fraîche on each piece, then layer on slices of smoked salmon. Top each canapé with a spoonful of caviar, and garnish with fresh dill or chives if desired. Arrange them on a platter for an elegant and delicious appetiser option.
2. Caviar Blinis
Blinis and caviar epitomise luxury and are deceptively simple to make. Blinis are small savoury pancakes that become exquisite appetisers when topped with a dollop of sour cream and a generous spoonful of caviar. With our recipe, you’ll master the art of making caviar blinis for a stunning starter.
3. Caviar Cream Cheese Dip
Look no further than this Caviar Cream Cheese Dip for an easy, quick, and luxurious culinary accompaniment. Marrying the richness of caviar with the lightness of cream cheese, this is a dip that will elevate any evening feast and is ready in under 10 minutes!
To make this dish, combine cream cheese and sour cream with fresh lemon juice and seasoning. Add your favourite caviar and serve with an array of crackers, crusty bread, or even crisps!
4. Caviar Sandwiches
From humble beginnings come great things! These party pleasers can showcase various types of caviar. All you need to do is spread butter, mayonnaise, or crème fraîche on bread and add a generous layer of caviar on top.
To add a little more wow factor, try making them mini! Use a small cookie cutter (around 4 cm) to cut out circles of white bread, avoiding the crust. Then, arrange the sandwiches by placing a circle of bread inside the cutter and add a layer of caviar (we recommend Beluga or Oscietra) followed by a layer of crème fraîche or mayonnaise. Close the sandwich with a second circle of bread and transfer it to a plate before removing the cutter to ensure the sandwich remains together and the layers are neat. Repeat as desired, and top with some chopped chives to serve.
5. Caviar Potatoes
For a delightful yet straightforward option, opt for potatoes sliced into neat coins and roasted until golden with a drizzle of olive oil, seasoned to perfection with salt and pepper. These savoury crisps with a blob of crème fraiche and a generous scoop of chilled caviar create a divine combination.
For an even simpler option, try cutting new potatoes in half, bake them, and top with cream cheese and caviar to make delicious mini potato appetisers.

6. Caviar Filet Mignon
If you’re looking for a showstopping main course that is also easy to make, caviar-topped filet mignon is hard to beat. Boasting unrivalled tenderness and flavour, it perfectly complements the briny butteriness of caviar for an unforgettable experience.
Remember to allow the filets to rest and cool slightly before adding caviar for the ultimate culinary experience.
7. Caviar Tagliatelle
Tagliatelle in a delicate cream sauce is a simple yet elegant pasta dish that pairs perfectly with caviar.
The key to serving this pasta dish lies in its presentation, as the ingredients should be wonderfully uncomplicated. The cream sauce should be inspired by carbonara, requiring only eggs, Parmesan cheese, and perhaps a touch of milk or cream.
Once the sauce is prepared, simply cook the tagliatelle to al dente perfection and arrange it in a manner that stands gracefully on its own. This ensures it can support the caviar lovingly placed on top.
8. Caviar Salad
A simple salad can be transformed by adding a few spoonfuls of caviar. Prepare your favourite salad as you normally would, and crown it with caviar for a delectable dish!
Alternatively, try a tuna ceviche salad with caviar by combining diced suhi-grade tuna with avocado, mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno (optional – for a little kick!) in a bowl. Finish with a drizzle of lime juice and oil before seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with caviar to finish.
9. Caviar Sushi
Sushi topped with caviar is a culinary delight. Sushi comprises vinegared rice topped with various ingredients, typically including fresh seafood and vegetables. When crowned with delicate pearls of caviar, this beloved dish achieves unparalleled sophistication.
