Ingredients
Scale
Base and Cheeses
- 345 g Pillsbury Thin and Crispy Pizza Crust Dough (12 oz)
- 200 g Crème fraîche (7 oz) (or ricotta)
- 200 g Parmesan cheese (7 oz) (grated)
- 200 g Crème fraîche (7 oz) (or sour cream) for topping
Toppings
- 1 Red onion, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 57 g Black or red lump-fish caviar (roe) (2 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 250° C (482° F) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking a crispy crust.
- Prepare baking sheets: Line two sheet pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Roll out the dough: Divide the dough as needed and roll out each piece thinly on a floured surface to shape your pizzas.
- Spread crème fraîche: Evenly spread the crème fraîche over each rolled dough, creating a smooth and creamy base layer.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the crème fraîche to add rich, savory flavor.
- Bake: Place the pizzas on the prepared sheets and bake for 7–10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust turns a light golden color.
- Cut into squares: After baking, cut the pizzas into 30 bite-sized squares for serving.
- Add fresh toppings: Sprinkle finely chopped red onion and dill over each square.
- Finish with crème fraîche and caviar: Add a small dollop of crème fraîche to each piece and top with a dab of lump-fish caviar, completing this elegant appetizer.
Notes
- You can substitute crème fraîche with sour cream or ricotta according to your taste preference.
- Use fresh dill for the best flavor; dried dill will not provide the same aroma or brightness.
- The pizza crust dough should be rolled thinly for ideal crispiness.
- Serve immediately after adding the caviar to enjoy the freshest flavor and texture.
- Adjust the quantity of caviar to your taste or budget; it’s a luxurious topping that can be used sparingly.
