Blini With Smoked Salmon image

A few years ago, a friend of Ina Garten's (The Barefoot Contessa) in Paris threw a party, but there was a problem. While he had taken care of the drinks, the food slipped his mind. Ina stepped in with these crowd-pleasing blini topped with smoked salmon and creme fraiche. It was a brilliant save, brightened even further with some bubbly. Recipe created by Ina Garten and courtesy of the April 2002 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.

I'm not a big fan of blini, but I thought these were pretty good. The smoked salmon and creme fraiche were a nice touch.

I found these blini to be a bit bland. The smoked salmon helped to add some flavor, but I think I would have preferred a different topping. The blini were also a bit too thick for my taste.

I thought these blini were just okay. The blini themselves were a bit too dry for my taste, and the smoked salmon was a bit too salty. I would probably not make these again.
