15 minSometimes the simplest recipes are the ones that stop people mid-conversation.
Whipped cream cheese blended with sour cream creates a tangy, velvety base, then fresh dill, grated onion, lemon juice, and cracked pepper fold in before the caviar goes gently on top.
The whole thing takes 15 minutes and makes about a cup of dip that looks and tastes like you hired a caterer.
Keep it chilled until guests arrive and set it out with crackers, blini, or crostini.
Kitchen Tips
- Bring the cream cheese fully to room temperature before mixing so it whips smooth without lumps
- Fold the caviar in last and very gently; you want those little pearls to pop in each bite, not dissolve into the base
- Fresh dill makes a noticeable difference here; dried will work in a pinch but use about a third of the amount
