- Course: Snack
- Features: Fast
Summary:
A great snack that is even better if you can get hold of fresh (or fresh-frozen) roe from salmon or trout, or other fish. Ask your fishmonger about availability. Otherwise, use lightly salted salmon roe that is sold in small glass jars.
4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons salmon roe (see headnote)
- 4 salty crackers
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped (2 teaspoons)
- 4 raw quail egg yolks
- 2 to 3 stems chives, finely chopped (1 teaspoon; optional)
Directions:
Place some of the salmon roe on top of each cracker. Make a small indentation in the middle of the roe, then place 1/2 teaspoon of the shallot and a quail egg yolk in it. Garnish with chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
