Yellow Caviar Dip

 I made this dip recently for a holiday party.  My original recipe (https://monicacooks.blogspot.com/2009/04/red-caviar-dip.html) calls for red caviar. I couldn't find any in the area grocery stores so I went with yellow caviar.  

Ingredients:

1 8-oz package of cream cheese, room temperature

5 T. Sour cream

2 T. Chives, fresh, chopped (set some aside for garnish)

2 oz. Yellow caviar, drained  (set about 1/2 t. aside for garnish)

French baguette, sliced

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Fold in the chives.

GENTLY fold in the caviar until combined. 

Transfer to a serving bowl.  

Top with remaining caviar and a few chives for garnish.

Chill in the refrigerator (covered w/saran wrap) before serving.

Black Caviar Dip

My Mom's cousin Grace made this years ago and I've always wanted to make it. I did back in 2005 and a few times since then. I love the combination of flavors of the caviar and sour cream.

1 large round bread

2 cups sour cream (maybe a little more or less, depending on the size of the bread)
3 boiled eggs; yolks and whites chopped separately
1/8 cup chopped red onion
Black lump caviar (or red), just one small jar, drained
1 baguette

Carefully carve out the center of the bread, keeping approximately 1/2" thickness. Cut the bread, which has been removed, into cubes. Cube the baguette.

Layer in the bread the sour cream, and then the caviar. Place the egg whites in a ring at the outer edge of the bread, followed by the yolks, and red onion.

Serve with the cubed bread.

10-12 Servings.
