    Recipe Introduction


    Makes ½ cup caviar - enough for 48 spoon-size bites

    This appetizer is perfect for New Year's Eve. Serve small toasts as an
    accompaniment.

    List of Ingredients




    For the caviar
    One 2 ¼-ounce can sliced black olives, drained and finely chopped
    1 tablespoon minced fresh basil leaves
    2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
    2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste

    For the other components
    1 hard-cooked egg
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    ½ cup creme fraiche, sour cream, or fresh white goat cheese

    Recipe



    To make the caviar, stir together all the ingredients in a small bowl.
    Taste and adjust the seasoning.


    To prepare the egg, using a fork, finely crumble the egg in a small
    bowl. Season to taste.


    To assemble each serving, starting at the handle end of the spoon,
    arrange rows of about ½ teaspoon creme fraiche, sour cream, or goat cheese,
    about ½ teaspoon egg, and about ½ teaspoon caviar.


    Pass the assembled spoons on a tray or platter. Provide a glass or
    other container where your guests can place the spoons once they have taken
    their bite.


    Advance preparation
    The caviar will keep for up to 2 days in a covered container in the
    refrigerator. Assemble the spoons up to 1 hour before serving; cover and
    refrigerate.
