This a smaller, simpler adaptation of the classic Caviar Pie 
recipe listed on Romanoff's Black Lumpfish Caviar.  It serves
4-6 people.  Caviar is fish eggs.  They are quite fragile. 
Handle them gently so as not to break them.

1/4  cup  minced sweet onion *
2         hard cooked eggs
2    TBS  mayonnaise
1    oz   cream cheese, room temperature
1    dash hot sauce
1    dash salt
1/4  tsp  pepper
1    jar  caviar, black or red lumpfish (2 oz jar)

Chop the sweet onion and press on a paper towel to absorb 
moisture.  Combine the mayonnaise and cream cheese.  Mash 
the eggs.  Mix together all ingredients, except the caviar.
Form the mixture into a 6 inch diameter circle in the middle
of serving plate.  If you use a large (12" dia) plate, you 
can serve crackers around the outside.

Just before serving, carefully rinse the caviar in a bowl 
of water.  Strain and spread the caviar on a towel to drain. 
Spread the caviar smoothly over the egg salad mixture.  
Serve with crackers.

* If using a strong onion, soak the minced onion in cold
water for 15 minutes.  Strain and pat dry with towels.

Romanoff is the most prevalent "inexpensive" brand of caviar in Washington, DC metro area grocery stores.
