Egg Dip With Caviar :-))

Submitted by NoSpringChicken

"This impressive and delicious mold is perfect for a holiday gathering. I must admit that I seldom use caviar due to the comments of several grandchildren! I make this in a star mold and it is so pretty with the yellow, red and green colors. The recipe came from a friend about thirty years ago. Cooking time is for chilling....not counting preparing the hard boiled eggs."
