Caviar
& Egg Salad Spread
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 towesl
