Add the soaked bread, little by little, pepper and lemon juice (depending on their acidity and your preference) Beat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is combined and fluffy.
3. Gradually pour the olive oil in slow and steady stream while beating. If your food processor doesn't have an opening, add the oil in 1/4 cup batches .Taste and adjust lemon & pepper to your liking. Salt is not added in this recipe cause the fish roe is salty enough on it's own.
