Preparation: 10 minutes • Cooking: 10 minutes

For twenty canapés

• 50g of Ossetra Tsar Impérial®
• A 200g piece of Burrata cheese
• 50g of hazelnut kernals
• 1 packet of Croustissian® crackers

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6).
2. While it heats, break the Croustissian® into three equal parts.
3. Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes at 180°C until golden brown.
4. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then break them up roughly.
5. On each square of Croustissian® place a large spoon of Burrata, a teaspoon of Ossetra Tsar Impérial® and a few broken pieces of hazelnut.

What caviar should I use for this recipe?

The number one choice would be an Ossetra Tsar Impérial®, owing to its firm, melt-in-the-mouth texture and its subtle aroma of dry fruit in perfect harmony with the roasted hazelnut. To vary the flavours, also try the Royal version, stronger and smoother or a Daurenki Tsar Impérial® for a soft and silky sensation in the mouth which goes perfectly  with the creamy texture of the famous Italian cheese.

Another idea?

Here, the hazelnuts add a crunchy element! You can replace them with other ingredients like buckwheat or toasted almonds
