Caviar has always symbolized the best in life; it is the single food most clearly identified with wealth, opulence and luxury. Yet for the connoisseur, caviar is more than a sybaritic, ostentatious display of riches. It is the ultimate edible, with all the subtleties, complexities and refinement of a great vintage wine or Champagne.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Shell the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Push the whites and the yolks separately through a sieve and set aside in individual bowls.

  2. Step 2

    Rinse the chopped onion in a colander under cold water. (Rinsed onion is milder in flavor and will not discolor.) Drain, transfer to a kitchen towel and press to remove any excess water.

  3. Step 3

    Trim the crust from the bread slices. Spoon some caviar around the edges of each slice, spreading it gently to create a ½-inch border of caviar. Inside this border, right next to the roe, spread the sieved egg white on the bread to form a ring that is ½ inch wide. Inside this ring, spread the sieved egg yolk to form another ½-inch ring. Inside that, spread the chopped onions to form a ½-inch ring. In the center of each slice, place 1 tablespoon of sour cream.

  4. Step 4

    Garnish each slice with a few grains of caviar and the chives. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
