BEGGAR'S PURSES WITH CAVIAR

These neat little crêpe packets, tied with a chive, hold a biteful of golden caviar. They are lovely with champagne.

Sixteen 6- or 7-inch savory or herb crêpes, or buckwheat galettes
1 cup light sour cream or plain yogurt
3 ounces (1/3 cup) golden, black, or red caviar
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
16 chives, about 6 inches long, or green onion tops

Prepare the crêpes or galettes. Cover them with aluminum foil and keep them warm in a 200-degree-F oven, or cover and reheat them in a baking pan in a preheated 325-degree-F oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until heated through.

Working quickly, assemble the purses by spooning a tablespoonful of sour cream or yogurt and a teaspoonful of caviar onto the center of each crêpe; sprinkle with minced chives. Gather each crêpe into a bundle the shape of a drawstring purse and tie with a chive or onion top. Serve immediately.

Makes 16 appetizers.
