CAVIAR DIP
Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese until smooth. With the mixer on medium speed, add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, scallion, milk, salt, and pepper. With a rubber spatula, fold in 3/4 of the salmon roe. Spoon the dip into a bowl and garnish with the remaining salmon roe and sprigs of fresh dill.
- Serve with chips, toasts, or crackers.
CAVIAR SANDWICH
I now prefer the caviar sandwich to all other more classic presentations at the holidays. All that caviar crammed into a sandwich makes me feel giddy and extravagant and very lucky to be alive the second I set eyes on it. Context is everything; what I could reasonably splurge for would feel forlorn if showcased on a proper silver trolley atop a mound of shaved ice with a mother-of-pearl spoon at the ready on its nearby velvet pillow, but here, by contrast, in the context of a lowly sandwich, it feels as decadent as if I were eating caviar straight out of the tin, like a midnight pint of ice cream. Buy the caviar you most prefer from a retailer you trust the most-the most expensive may by no means necessarily be your favorite-- and see if this luscious sandwich doesn't make you feel pretty giddy, too.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche, scallions, black pepper and kosher salt. Stir aggressively with a rubber spatula until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the crème fraîche is smooth and spreadable. Set aside.
- Bring a small pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Carefully lower your eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon, taking care not to crack the shells. Cook the eggs for 7 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a gentle boil. Remove eggs to a bowl of ice water, and cool completely. Gently crack eggs all over, peel and roughly chop. Set aside.
- Toast white bread until light golden brown. Remove from toaster, and butter each slice, as we say, wall to wall.
- Repeat with the scallion crème fraîche so that both halves of each sandwich have an even schmear.
- Spread an even layer of chopped egg on 4 slices (of the total of 8 slices) of toast.
- Evenly dot the caviar on top of the chopped egg.
- Sprinkle chives on top of the caviar.
- Place the remaining 4 slices of crème-fraîche toast on top of the egg-caviar side. Press down very gently, and slice in half on the bias. Serve at once.

CAVIAR DIP
Uses inexpensive black caviar sold in glass jars at most markets. Don't use the good stuff because it will be overwhelmed by the other ingredients. From "Fast Appetizers" by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison. Note: Caviar should not be eaten with a metal spoon because metal oxidizes the eggs and gives them a off taste. The most common serving spoon is mother-of-pearl.

COLORFUL COWBOY CAVIAR
This is a great make-ahead dip and a welcome change from the basic cheese and sour cream type dips that show up a every gathering. The nice thing is the longer it marinates, the better it gets. Frees up your time for other dishes. It's also a very "forgiving" recipe...get creative and add or delete vegetables to suit your taste. I particularly like to serve this with Fritos but again, choose the chip of your choice. :-)

CAVIAR POTATO CHIPS AND LEMON CREAM
There couldn't be anything simpler about this festive cocktail snack, in which potato chips are topped with lemon zest-infused crème fraîche and salmon roe. This dish is more about shopping than cooking. You need to get the salmon roe, available at fishmongers and specialty markets, and some good, small-batch potato chips. But once you have those, it's a snap to assemble. Do so at the last minute so the chips stay nice and crisp.

CAVIAR WITH HOUSE-MADE POTATO CHIPS AND LEMON CRèME FRAICHE
I have been cooking the Feast of the Seven Fishes in my house for so many years and this dish is one of my favorites. I love to snack on this in the kitchen while I'm cooking up the rest of the big meal. Caviar is a specialty item, but you can easily make it work in your price range.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a pot, cover potatoes with about 2 inches of cool water; bring to a boil. Season generously with salt and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife but still holding their shape, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. When cool enough to handle, trim and discard 1/4 inch from top of each potato. (If necessary, trim bottoms flat so potatoes stand upright.)
- Using a small paring knife, the smaller side of a melon baller, or a demitasse spoon, carefully scoop flesh from potatoes, leaving 1/4 inch flesh intact all around bottom and sides. Transfer hollowed potatoes to parchment-lined baking sheets.
- For the smoothest texture, press potato flesh through a ricer into a bowl. Stir in cream cheese, butter, milk, and chives to thoroughly combine (or, if not using a ricer, mash to combine until smooth); season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a plain tip, or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped. Pipe mixture into hollowed potatoes and bake until they are heated through and browned in places on top, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool a few minutes; dollop with sour cream and top with caviar, trout roe, or more chives. Serve warm.
