Although I did not post my usual Sunday dinner menu this past Sunday, we still enjoyed a meal with family beginning with this tasty appetizer.  While it may look like the traditional picnic finger food, upon closer inspection (and tasting) you’ll find that it is an elegant spin on the classic. Instead of the usual mayo and mustard yolk mixture, this recipe uses crème fraîche and cream cheese

The original recipe used sour cream, but I find that Crème fraîche adds a note of sophistication and is an excellent pairing with smoked salmon. The original recipe also called for salmon roe, but I like the briny bite of capers and a mince of red onion with my smoked salmon. I also reduced the amounts of some ingredients because I did not want to mask any of the egg and salmon flavor (and the original amounts filled all the eggs, leaving plenty of filling over).

Serve some as per recipe and garnish the rest with the caper and onions.  Either way, they will surely disappear!
