Steps:
- 1. Puree the corn and cream; transfer to a bowl. Stir in cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper; mix in eggs and butter to make a batter.
- 2. Place oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add batter to the skillet in heaping tablespoons. Cook until corn cakes are golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Continue, adding more oil to the skillet as necessary. (Batter makes about 30 cakes.)
- 3. To serve, arrange 3 corn cakes on each of 8 plates. Top each with 1 teaspoon of crème fraîche and a small dollop of caviar.
WOW! IS THAT CAVIAR?
Much less expensive and much less time-consuming than it looks. You can buy a small jar of caviar in the canned-fish section of your supermarket for about 5 dollars. This will wow everyone at your next gathering.

Steps:
- Spread the onion out on a paper towel set over a plate and place in the refrigerator to dry out a bit, about 30 minutes. Spread the chopped egg out on a decorative serving plate or other shallow dish. Refrigerate this too.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sour cream. Remove the serving dish from the refrigerator, and sprinkle the onions over the eggs. Spoon the cream mixture over the onion layer, and carefully spread flat. Spread black caviar over one half of the top, and red caviar over the other half or if you are feeling creative, make a nice pattern. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

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.
