- Five courses, all served simultaneously buffet-style
- Total caviar: 200g across the menu (33g per person)
- Build everything within 30 minutes of guests arriving
- Champagne or sparkling rosé throughout
- Family format, not formal sit-down

12 mini blinis (2 per guest), warm, topped with crème fraîche and 5g caviar each. See our classic blinis with caviar.
Dish 3: Smoked Salmon Bagels
6 mini bagels, toasted, with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and 6-7g caviar each. See our smoked salmon and caviar bagel.

Production Timeline
Day before: Buy ingredients. Make blinis (or take frozen out night before).
Easter Sunday morning, 9:30 AM: Toast bagels, slice avocado.
10:00 AM: Start boiling eggs. Set caviar on ice.
10:30 AM (guests arriving): Build all 5 dishes simultaneously.
11:00 AM: Serve with champagne. Family-style buffet.
Tips for Getting It Right
Build to order. Pre-built brunch dishes go soggy fast. Stage all components and assemble within 30 minutes of guests arriving.
Family-style serving. Don't pre-portion. Let guests serve themselves from large platters.
Champagne or rosé. Both work. Avoid red wine at brunch.
Don't overdo the dishes. 5 dishes is enough. Adding more turns brunch into a wedding.
Variations and Pairings
With Beluga: Replace Oscietra with 150g of Beluga XXL for ultra-luxury Easter.
With salmon roe: Use 50g of Wild Salmon Roe on Dish 1 (eggshells) for visual contrast (orange against yellow yolk).
Without alcohol: Serve sparkling elderflower water or fresh juices alongside.
With kids: Skip the caviar on one of the dishes (e.g. plain blinis with crème fraîche only) so children have a non-caviar option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caviar for Easter brunch for 6?
200g across the menu (33g per guest). Spread across multiple dishes rather than concentrated in one course.
Can I include children?
Yes. Most kids dislike caviar, so make sure each dish has a caviar-free version: plain blinis with cream, plain bagels with salmon, plain eggs with butter.
Best champagne for brunch?
A non-vintage Brut for everyday quality. A vintage Blanc de Blancs for special. Sparkling rosé is a beautiful Easter option.
Can I prep ahead?
Most components yes. Boil eggs morning-of (warm). Make blinis day before. Slice avocado last minute. Open caviar tin within 30 minutes of guests arriving.
