directions

1. Mix the bottom layer ingredients and put in an 8 inch springform pan.
2. Put middle layer on top of that; and then mix top layer ingredients and put on top.
3. Chill overnight.
4. Use a cookie cutter on top and fill with caviar to make a nice design.
5. We used a heart shape at the wedding and filled it with salmon roe and made a nice design of salmon roe around the border-- one of our colors was orange for the wedding so it looked lovely.
6. I've also seen this with small red caviar in the middle in a heart shape with black caviar all around the edges-- gorgeous.
7. remove the sides of the springform pan to serve with crackers.

A beautiful and tasty hors d'oeuvre. I wouldn't mix the top layer, though. Rather, as in the picture, I spread the cream cheese/sour cream mixture first then the caviar layer. Allow it to chill overnight as the flavor really is more delicate the next day.
