Caviar on Toast Points and Low Carb Crackers


Cheap black lumpfish caviar transformed into GREATness!

Serves 4 (in most families)
Serves2 (in our family)
Difficulty – We don’t trust old Boo with the fish eggs. It makes him a little crazy with excitement. But if you ask him, Old Boo will still claim it's pretty easy!
Prep – Bout 10 Minutes
Cook Time – ABC (Already Been Cooked)








2 Leftover Easter Eggs, peeled, finely chopped
1/3 Purple Onion, finely chopped
1/4c Capers, drained
1/2c Sour Cream
2oz Leftover Jar Black Lumpfish Caviar, Romanoff Brand

LC Crackers (recipe to come)
RR Focaccia split and toasted in a pan with a little Olive Oil

This isn’t so much a recipe as it is instructions for assembly. You make a tray with these ingredients and let everyone serve themselves.

Rinse caviar as described in the Gentrified Deviled Egg recipe and let it drain well on paper towels until you’ve finished the other prep. Place caviar in pretty bowl.

Finely chop onion, and place in a decorative bowl. Peel, wash, dry and finely chop leftover Easter Eggs and give them a fancy bowl too. Drain the capers and place them in a swanky bowl as well. Scoop out sour cream into its own swanky bowl and you will have a tray holding 5 swanked-out bowls (caviar, sour cream, egg, purple onion, capers) of "parts."

Serve parts with LC crackers or make this pretty Focaccia toast points and let everyone assemble their own canape.

It's easy to assemble! Smear cracker or toast point with sour cream. Layer with some chopped egg, onion, capers and a dollop of caviar. Eat it up yum!

Focaccia Toast Points

1 9x9 Pan Focaccia (LC)
Olive Oil
1 Clove Garlic

Cut Focaccia into quarters. Cut each quarter in half horizontally into 2 sandwich slices. Cut each sandwich slice in half diagonally. Cut each triangle in half down the center to make 2 right angle triangles. So in other words, from one slice of Focaccia, you get 4 toast points. Careful with the cutting, make them look pretty!

Peel and smash 1 clove garlic with the flat of your chef knife.  Place in large non-stick skillet with about 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil. Over med high heat, gently fry Focaccia in the garlic infused oil until each point is brown and crisp. Fry them on both sides. Pretend you are making unstuffed grilled cheese.

Remove from pan and place on paper towels to blot off some of the olive oil. Let toast points cool, then use to serve with caviar and salmon dips.

SusieT’s Notes:
Well, I swanny! This is another recipe sure to fool your best friend! Your fellow DFSW will think you’ve won the lottery instead of spending $6-7 bucks on a jar of cheapo caviar. This caviar recipe is a great way to use up more leftover Easter Eggs along with the leftover caviar you have in the ice box from the Gentrified Deviled Egg recipe.

It’s a family favorite and we have our little ones, “the bitsies,” request it at every family gathering. Imagine!
