How to Serve Caviar Appetizers

Have you ever wanted to learn how to serve caviar appetizers properly?

Caviar is a rare treat you can serve your guests as an addition to any meal. It can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes, such as blini, omelets, desserts, salads, and more. However, learning how to prepare this exquisitely delicious and classy meal requires impeccable technique and the right tools.

This article covers the basics of serving caviar appetizers like a professional chef. To stimulate your guest's appetite, you need to go that extra mile — be creative.

Let's begin…..

Serving tips: What to do with caviar

You can serve caviar with a variety of garnishes to complement its taste! Caviar is most commonly used as a condiment for salads and is also popular on toast. You can also use it with sour cream or yogurt.

The best way to serve caviar is chilled in a glass or on a silver plate, complete with a unique mother of pearl spoon. It’s not advisable to eat caviar with a silver or metal spoon so the flavor is not tainted. Wooden spoons, golden spoons, and horn bones are also good alternatives.

If you’re not sure how to serve caviar best, here are some ideas on how to give your customers and guests a caviar treat!

• Classic Caviar Blini

This is a classic Russian/Ukrainian dish that combines blinis (small pancakes) with caviar. Traditionally, the caviar is placed on top of the blini with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche and decorated with a quail egg yolk, lemon zest, or chopped onion. You can also top the blini with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, herbs etc before serving them to increase their shine and add a burst of flavor!

• Caviar Tuna Tartare
  

Tuna tartare is an amazing appetizer that’s full of flavor and color! Choose well-sourced tuna for this recipe so you can feel good about eating it too! Prepare the tuna by cutting it into small cubes and then mixing it with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This is a favorite of sushi lovers and is usually eaten as an appetizer but it also makes a great snack when served with crackers or bread sticks!

• Spaghetti with Caviar

Thin capellini spaghetti with caviar is a fun way to enjoy this luxurious delicacy. This is a simple recipe that comes together in no time at all. Just add Osetra caviar from Bester Caviar and sauteed breadcrumb to the pasta. Top it with veloute sauce for dipping!

• Scrambled Eggs on Toast

Another great way to enjoy caviar is by pairing it with scrambled eggs on toast! This simple dish is perfect for breakfast or anytime your taste buds crave something special! Simply scramble local farm fresh eggs in a bowl with some milk and butter, then add some caviar and top with chives if desired. Serve this up alongside toast so your guests can make their own hash browns!

• Caviar and Champagne

The combination of caviar and champagne is a classic pairing and one of our favorite ways to serve this sumptuous treat. We like to do this when we have friends over for dinner or if we are having a special occasion at our house.

To make this dish, you will need to buy some of the most expensive—and delicious—caviar on the market and then serve it on toast points or use a cracker with caviar with lots of champagne. The champagne gives it a nice bubbly taste that pairs well with the buttery texture of the toast points.

• Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is one of those dishes that just screams “breakfast” when you think about it! Whether you want something simple like avocado slices spread on top of toast or sesame bread or want to be more creative by adding spices, herbs or other ingredients, there are plenty of options available!

This dish works best when the avocado is served slightly warm and drizzled with olive oil or lemon juice and some mixed greens per person. It’s also important to add salt and pepper so that the avocado isn’t too sweet making it too bland for most people’s tastes.

In general, the higher the quality of your caviar, the fewer side dishes that should go with it. There is no better way to enjoy the finest and most expensive varieties than to eat them alone. Still, you can enhance the taste of other side dishes with other less expensive caviars.

Here’s the best way to eat caviar at home

There are several ways to serve caviar that will make your guests feel like they're dining in a high-class restaurant. Here are some examples of how to eat black caviar at home.  

Use with crackers, toast or pita bread

Different caviar sizes can be served on toast, crackers, or pita bread.

The way to eat caviar is to cut off a piece of toast and dip it into the caviar. Then, place it on top of some black bread. If you prefer, you can use crackers or bread sticks. The black bread will help absorb the oil from the caviar, which will keep your palate clean from any fishy taste.

Serve with pasta

If you're looking for an easy dessert or appetizer that requires little effort, then pasta with caviar is the way to go! Just put some cream sauce on top of your favorite pasta and sprinkle some black pepper on top, then mix everything before serving it up!

Tuna tartar

Caviar goes well with tuna, especially when served over sushi rice or on top of raw fish. You can also mix it into ketchup or mayonnaise for a sandwich or salad.

Sprinkle over salads and vegetables

If you're looking to add some caviar flair to your salad (or any other dish), try mixing it into vinaigrette dressing or making a dip out of it by mixing it with sour cream and chopped onion or garlic cloves before adding it to your salad greens.

Add it to scrambled eggs

If you are cooking something else at home, such as an omelet or scrambled eggs, try adding a spoonful of caviar to those dishes. If you have been wondering "what goes with caviar?"This is undeniably one of the best examples.

Simply add your black caviar to an egg salad or process it into a paste for making an omelet. Caviar is so delicious when mixed with other ingredients that it’s hard not to add some to your dishes!

Spread it on sliced hard-boiled eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are a great way to incorporate caviar into your meal without overpowering its delicate flavor with other strong ingredients like mayo or mustard. Just make sure you don't overcook them — they're best when they're still runny inside!

Presentation is everything when it comes to serving an elegant and luxurious dish. It is going to be what catches your guests' eyes first, which is why it's best to keep it simple and exquisite.
