Directions
-
Lightly grease a 10-inch spring-form pan with a small amount of mayonnaise.
-
Peel and mash the hard-boiled eggs in a large bowl until fine.
-
Mix in enough mayonnaise to bind the eggs, along with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
-
Press the egg mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared spring-form pan to create a base layer.
-
Sprinkle the chopped scallions evenly over the top of the egg layer.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until completely smooth.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the scallions, creating a smooth second layer.
-
Refrigerate the pie for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, to set the layers.
-
Place the chilled spring-form pan on a paper towel-lined plate to catch any condensation.
-
Arrange the black and red caviar on top of the cream cheese layer in an aesthetic design, using wax paper cutouts and toothpicks to guide placement.
-
Remove the spring-form ring carefully before serving.
-
Serve immediately with plain water crackers or thin toast points.
