This wonderful appetizer is incredibly easy and delicious. Best of all, red caviar is very affordable. The thin layer of butter is the perfect backdrop for the salty flavor of the red caviar. A favorite at any Russian party, this appetizer or zakuska has a beautiful look and a distinct taste. Caviar fans, this appetizer is calling your name! Perfect with vodka.

Cut the French baguette into slices as thin or thick as you like. Lightly toast the baguette slices so the crust is crispy but the bread is still soft. Put a thick layer of unsalted butter on each baguette followed by a layer of red caviar.

Always include a container of additional caviar on the plate so your guests can add to their slice if they prefer more.
