Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For egg salad
1 hard-boiled large egg, finely chopped
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
For blini
2 tablespoons buckwheat flour
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg, separated
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, divided
For filling
1/4 lb thinly sliced smoked salmon at room temperature
2 ounces trout caviar, such as rainbow- trout caviar, or salmon roe
Garnish: sour cream; chopped chives

Steps:

  • Make egg salad:
  • Stir together all ingredients and a pinch of salt.
  • Make blini:
  • Whisk together dry ingredients in a bowl. Add milk and yolk and whisk until smooth. 3Beat egg white with a clean whisk in another bowl until it just holds soft peaks. Fold into batter along with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  • Brush a 12-inch nonstick skillet with some of remaining melted butter, then heat over medium heat until hot. Working in batches of 6 or 7, drop 1 level tablespoon batter per pancake into skillet and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Flip over and cook 1 minute more. Brush blini on both sides with some of remaining melted butter, then transfer to a plate and keep warm, covered with foil. Brush skillet with butter between batches.
  • Fill tortes:
  • Drape smoked salmon on 6 blini and top with egg salad. Spoon caviar onto 6 more blini, then stack on egg-salad-topped blini.

These tortes were beautiful and delicious! I made them for a special occasion and they were a huge hit. The blinis were light and fluffy, and the smoked salmon and caviar were the perfect toppings. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of caviar, but I loved these tortes! The blinis were so good, and the smoked salmon was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again, but I might leave out the caviar next time.
