Description

This elegant Caviar Mousse is a sophisticated savory appetizer that balances rich, creamy textures with sharp, briny flavors. The base consists of hard-boiled eggs blended with mayonnaise and gelatin for a smooth, airy consistency, while anchovy fillets and Worcestershire sauce add depth and umami. Finished with a generous topping of caviar and a squeeze of lemon, it offers a luxurious bite perfect for special occasions or holiday gatherings. The combination of savory, tangy, and salty notes creates a memorable flavor profile that is both comforting and refined. Serve chilled in individual ramekins for an impressive presentation.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the water in a small bowl and let it stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Place the bloomed gelatin in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely dissolved and clear.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the hard-boiled eggs, anchovy fillets, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and lemon juice.
  4. Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until it reaches a coarse, uniform consistency, or blend briefly with an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
  5. Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to ensure it is evenly incorporated.
  6. Spoon the mousse into a serving dish or individual ramekins, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is firm and set.
  8. Just before serving, top the mousse with caviar and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh pepper if desired.
