This hors d'oeuvre is an eye-catching display of black caviar set on a miniature bed of onion-laced deviled egg. Each tiny quail egg sits snugly on a little round brioche toaste and requires only a pinch of caviar to complete the picture.

Popping a little egg into your mouth and washing it down with a glass of chilled sparkling wine makes a stunning equation on the palate.You can find quail eggs in specialty-food shops. Peeling and preparing them is a task geared toward cooks with a gentle touch.  — Jeff MorganAdapted from "Domain Chandon Cookbook" by Jeff Morgan.

Caviar to chefs is like expensive paint to artists and is used often in restaurants, but that doesn’t mean home cooks can’t be cooking with it, as well. I say cook, but really caviar is used as a garnish in cooking. Dolloped on top of crème fraîche and smoked salmon or sprinkled on creamy scrambled eggs like in this recipe, it adds a rich quality to your food that cannot be replicated by anything else.
