5 Easy & Indulgent Caviar Pairings for Your Next Dinner Party

1. Serve caviar with blinis. 

Blinis are traditional Russian pancakes made from buckwheat flour. They are thinner and wider than American-style pancakes but not as thin as French crepes. Thanks to the buckwheat flour, blinis have a lovely color and slightly toasty and nutty flavor, which perfectly complements the ocean freshness, creamy & buttery flavors, and velvety texture of caviar.

At your next dinner, serve Sterling Caviar over blini with crème fraîche and fresh chives. It’s a classic combo that will take you and your guests into a luxurious culinary experience. 

2. Pair caviar with unsalted crackers, crispbreads, or dry toasts.

When pairing caviar with other food items, always remember that caviar has complex flavors. You need to pick complementary items that won’t overwhelm caviar’s flavor profiles. Great examples include unsalted crackers, crispbreads, and dry toasts. These types of dry bread have a mild taste that will make it easier for you to savor the caviar. 

You can also top the crackers, dry toasts, or crispbreads with other complementary culinary elements. These include cream cheese, crème fraîche, and aromatic herbs.

3. Top deviled eggs with caviar.

Fancy deviled eggs with the finest caviar and crème fraîche make an easy but elegant hors d’oeuvre idea for your next dinner party.

Deviled eggs often have a creamy taste that blends well with caviar’s rich, buttery, and slightly salty flavors. Also, the dark color of caviar creates a good contrast to the light, vibrant color of eggs, making them look so delicious & aesthetic!

4. Eat potatoes with caviar. 

No matter how they’re cooked, potatoes have a mild taste that lets the rich & complex flavors of caviar shine. That makes them one of the best food items you can pair with caviar. You can top baked potatoes or potato pancakes with the sea delicacy, sour cream, & herbs. 

You can also choose potato chips! Crispy and thin-sliced potato chips will easily melt as the ocean and creamy flavor and velvety texture of caviar pop in your mouth. Add crème fraîche to this combo, and you and your guests will be treated to a flavor explosion.

4. Try pairing caviar with cucumber.

Looking for a vegetable to pair with your freshly delivered caviar? Shop some cucumber. This vegetable pairs well with caviar due to its mild and crunchy taste.

You can top cucumber slices with caviar and add sour cream to make the bites more flavorful. Another option is to have a dry toast or crispbread as a base for the cucumber slice, sour cream, and caviar. The freshness and complexity of different flavors will definitely impress your guests.
