Mini Savory Cheesecake with Caviar and Chives

These Mini Savory Cheesecakes with Caviar and Chives are such a great party canapé or appetizer.

The freeform nature gives them a slightly rustic look and then the use of caviar adds an elegantly edge. Elegantly rustic?

Is that a thing? Ha, I am making it a thing!!! Plus they can be made in advance and looks so pretty on your platter or plate. What is not to love about that!

White platter with champagne in the background and savory cheesecakes on the platter garnished with chives.

I just love how pretty these are. The colours pop, especially on the blue buffet table I had set up. The bright orange of the salmon roe, the wonderful fresh green chive and the white pop of cream cheese. They are so preeeeety!

And so yummy!!! The caviar adds a salty hit to the smooth cream cheese. And a little goes a long way. Making these Mini Savory Cheesecakes a cost effective yet elegant bite.

They would be perfect for a Christmas canapé or for New Years Eve.

White cake stand with mini savory cheesecakes on it, tinsel and champagne flutes in the background.

I like to use salmon roe for these Savory Cheesecakes with caviar, as the colour is so beautiful and it is more cost effective.

The amount you add is quite flexible. I add 4 tablespoons and that is enough to fleck the mixture with the bright orange salty jewels.

If you have plenty then you might like to garnish the top with some extra caviar. Or add a snip of chives to the top.

    Hello Claire, just a quickie …. What sort of dry biscuit do you use/suggest for the base?
    Also how long in advance can they be made?
    Cheers, Rhonda

      I Rhonda, I used a dry ritz cracker for mine. But you could use any plain cracker. Saltines would be a great choice too 😀

        Thanks Claire … Ritz bickies sound the way to go … Claire can these be made the day before ?
        I made the cucumber starter at Chrustmas time and they were well received. I’m hoping these little beauties go down a treat

          I’ve made them in the morning for a party in the evening and they were still perfect 😀 I can’t see why they wouldn’t last for 24 hours ahead of time.
          I just popped a couple of water glasses on the tray so that when I covered it with glad wrap it didn’t stick to the cheesecakes.

    Hmmm. This would be a keeper. I love cheesecakes but savory takes it to a new level.

      They really would be perfect for Easter. And great for making a small pot of caviar go further.

    Just divine and so elegant. Perfect for a party and even Easter brunch. I enjoy caviar so definitely this along with a champagne glass is my kind of appetizer.
