SMOKED SALMON TART FOR A CROWD
This is an easy but elegant cocktail snack to serve year round, but it's especially nice during the holiday season as a reward for bearing up with frigid winter weather. Essentially, it's a large buttery cracker, garnished with smoked salmon and cut up like a pizza. The pastry rounds may be baked ahead and left at room temperature. Assembling one tart at a time is the best way to keep everything looking and tasting freshly made. The recipe makes four 8-inch tarts; if you need less, consider making a half batch or freezing some of the dough for future use.

Steps:
- Make the pastry: Put flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly, then add butter all at once and whir until mixture resembles wet sand. Add egg and continue just until dough comes together. (Alternatively, cut butter into dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix by hand.) Knead dough lightly on counter-top, then divide into four pieces and form each into a ball. Wrap with plastic film and flatten to 1-inch-thick disks. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the horseradish cream: Mix together crème fraîche, horseradish, mustard and lemon zest. Season generously with salt and pepper, then keep cool. (If cream firms upon standing, beat with a fork.)
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put onion in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add olive oil and mix to coat. Roll out each piece of dough to an 8-inch-diameter circle. Place the pastry disks on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle onion slices over each round.
- Bake tart rounds for 6 to 7 minutes, until pastry is lightly browned and puffed, and onions are starting to brown. (Turn pans halfway through for even browning.) Let cool for a minute or two.
- Put pastry on a cutting board. Cut into 6 or 8 wedges. Spoon some horseradish cream onto each wedge. Tear salmon slices into wide ribbons and lay them over the cream. (Use 1 ounce salmon per tart.) Top each wedge with a tiny spoonful of roe, if using, and sprinkle with chives and tarragon. Serve directly from the board.

Steps:
- Mix the bottom layer ingredients and put in an 8 inch springform pan.
- Put middle layer on top of that; and then mix top layer ingredients and put on top.
- Chill overnight.
- Use a cookie cutter on top and fill with caviar to make a nice design.
- 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.
- I've also seen this with small red caviar in the middle in a heart shape with black caviar all around the edges-- gorgeous.
- remove the sides of the springform pan to serve with crackers.

CAVIAR PUFF-PASTRY STARS
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Yield Makes 16 hors d'oeuvres
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- On a floured surface roll out the puff pastry 1/8 inch thick and with a 3-inch star-shaped cutter cut out 8 pastry stars. Transfer the stars to a lightly greased baking sheet, brush the tops with the egg wash, being careful not to let the wash drip down the sides, and bake the stars in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden. Transfer the stars to a rack and let them cool completely. With a sharp small knife carefully split the stars in half horizontally to form a total of 16 stars, leaving the bottoms cut sides up and the tops cut sides down. Just before serving, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the sour cream onto each star, divide the caviar among the stars, and sprinkle the hors d'oeuvres with the chives.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh caviar, smoked salmon, and crème fraîche.
- Make sure the pastry dough is well-chilled before baking. This will help to prevent it from shrinking.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a regular pie plate. Just trim the edges of the pastry dough so that it fits inside the plate.
- Be careful not to overcook the tart. The pastry should be golden brown and the filling should be set.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It can be garnished with additional caviar, smoked salmon, or crème fraîche.
Conclusion:
This caviar tart is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its beautiful presentation and unforgettable flavor, this tart is sure to impress your guests.
