Ingredients

• For the Blinis:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup warm milk (around 100-110°F / 38-43°C)
• 1 large egg, separated
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
• For the Scrambled Eggs:
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• For Serving:
• 2-4 ounces (50-100g) good quality caviar (e.g., salmon roe, trout roe, or your preferred type)
• Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
• Optional: Crème fraîche or sour cream

Directions

1. Prepare the Blini Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually whisk in the warm milk until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes to an hour, or until slightly bubbly.
2. Finish the Blini Batter: After resting, stir in the egg yolk and melted butter into the batter. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg white until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg white into the blini batter until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg white.
3. Cook the Blinis: Heat a lightly buttered non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Pour about 1 tablespoon of batter per blini, forming small, silver-dollar-sized pancakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked blinis to a plate and keep warm while you cook the rest.
4. Make the Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the 4 large eggs with heavy cream (or milk), salt, and pepper until just combined – don't overbeat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture.
5. Scramble Gently: Cook the eggs, stirring gently and continuously with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook until the eggs are soft, creamy, and just set but still moist (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
6. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the warm blinis on a serving platter. Top each blini with a small dollop of creamy scrambled eggs. Carefully spoon a generous amount of caviar over the eggs. Garnish with fresh chopped chives. If desired, add a tiny dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream next to the caviar. Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant caviar and eggs creation!
