BLACK SEA TOAST
Caviar has always symbolized the best in life; it is the single food most clearly identified with wealth, opulence and luxury. Yet for the connoisseur, caviar is more than a sybaritic, ostentatious display of riches. It is the ultimate edible, with all the subtleties, complexities and refinement of a great vintage wine or Champagne.

Steps:
- Shell the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Push the whites and the yolks separately through a sieve and set aside in individual bowls.
- Rinse the chopped onion in a colander under cold water. (Rinsed onion is milder in flavor and will not discolor.) Drain, transfer to a kitchen towel and press to remove any excess water.
- Trim the crust from the bread slices. Spoon some caviar around the edges of each slice, spreading it gently to create a 1/2-inch border of caviar. Inside this border, right next to the roe, spread the sieved egg white on the bread to form a ring that is 1/2 inch wide. Inside this ring, spread the sieved egg yolk to form another 1/2-inch ring. Inside that, spread the chopped onions to form a 1/2-inch ring. In the center of each slice, place 1 tablespoon of sour cream.
- Garnish each slice with a few grains of caviar and the chives. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
