Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (sifted for lightness)
- 1 cup whole milk (warmed to about 110°F)
- 1 large egg (room temperature for better incorporation)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for cooking)

Ingredients
- 1 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed (for even cooking)
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (toasted until golden)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche (for a tangy contrast)
- 2 oz caviar (preferably sturgeon for its buttery notes)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
- Fresh chives, finely chopped (for a hint of color and freshness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Brush lightly with olive oil and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool.
- Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Spread a thin layer of crème fraîche on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a slice of beef tenderloin and a small spoonful of caviar. Garnish with chopped chives.
- For an extra touch of elegance, serve the crostini on a slate board or marble platter, arranging them in a circular pattern for visual appeal.
Flawlessly balanced, each bite offers a symphony of textures—from the crunch of the crostini to the melt-in-your-mouth beef and the luxurious burst of caviar. Perfect for elevating your next gathering, these crostini are as much a feast for the eyes as they are for the palate.
Caviar and Truffle Oil Pizza
Elevating the humble pizza to unprecedented heights, this Caviar and Truffle Oil Pizza combines luxurious ingredients with the comfort of a classic. Each bite offers a symphony of flavors, from the earthy truffle oil to the briny pop of caviar, all atop a perfectly crisp crust.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade, for the ambitious)
- 1/4 cup truffle oil (extra virgin olive oil can substitute in a pinch)
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche (sour cream works as a lighter alternative)
- 1 oz caviar (choose sustainable options for an eco-friendly choice)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to ensure a crispy crust.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, keeping in mind thinner crusts will cook faster.
- Brush the dough lightly with truffle oil, reserving some for after baking, to infuse the crust with flavor.
- Spread the crème fraîche evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle the sea salt lightly over the crème fraîche to enhance the flavors.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the bottom is crisp.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with the remaining truffle oil for an aromatic finish.
- Garnish with spoonfuls of caviar and a sprinkle of fresh chives for color and freshness.
