Recently I was gifted a lovely tin of caviar, and had a conundrum of what to do with it. My savage self wanted to devour it with a small pearl spoon, and a glass of champagne while moaning over every orgasmic bite. However, I decided to opt out of my selfishness and create a recipe that you too can make whenever presented by the "caviar conundrum."
