The Ingredients

Serves 2

  • 2 thick slices proper sourdough
  • 30g cold unsalted butter
  • 30g Royal Oscietra
  • A few flakes of Maldon sea salt
  • Cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp finely sliced chives, optional

The Method

1. Toast sourdough until deep golden brown.

2. Spread cold butter generously while still hot.

3. Wait 30 seconds for toast to cool.

4. Spoon 15g of caviar onto each slice.

5. Add Maldon flakes and pepper. Scatter chives. Serve immediately.

Tips

Cold butter on hot toast.

Wait before caviar. Above 60C ruins pearls.

Salt restraint. Caviar is salty.

Don't pre-build. Toast goes soggy.

With Beluga: 25g of Beluga XXL per slice.

With smoked salmon: Add 25g of cold-smoked salmon between butter and caviar.

Wine pairing: Champagne.
