    Serves: 8

    Ingredients

    • 24 mini blinis
    • 2 tbsp vodka
    • 200ml crème fraîche
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 8 slices smoked salmon
    • 4 tsp herring or lumpfish roe
    • 8 tsp lemon-infused olive oil (optional)
    • 8 tsp basil-infused olive oil (optional)
    • A few salad leaves, to garnish
    • 8 hard-boiled quail's eggs
    • 8 sprigs flat leaf parsley or basil or lengths of chive, to garnish

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5.
    2. Put the blinis on a baking tray and heat in the oven for 3 minutes. Leave to cool slightly.
    3. Mix the vodka and crème fraîche and season with 1 tbsp lemon juice and salt and pepper. Spread the crème fraîche mixture over the blinis.

Put on serving plates and drizzle, if you like, the lemon and basil oil around the outside of each. Add a tiny pile of leaves to each plate, top with a halved quail's egg and finish with a piece of chive, parsley or basil.
