Toast for caviar. You can either use: 1 baguette of French bread, sliced. Brush each side with butter and bake 5-8 minutes. The Russian method uses black pumpernickel bread, thinly sliced. Americans sometimes use rye biscuits, Wasa bread, Melba toast rounds or any other very hard biscuit.

Arrange the following attractively, each in its own separate small dish.

Dish 1. 1 cup of sour cream
Dish 2. 3/4 cup of finely chopped chives
Dish 3. Caviar (2 jars to start, keep more in fridge)
Dish 4. Finely chopped whites of 2 hard boiled eggs
Dish 5. Finely chopped yolks of 2 hard boiled eggs
Dish 6. 2 lemons cut into small wedges, for squeezing on canapé

Spread any combination of caviar and side dishes to suit their taste.
