Mini Savory Cheesecakes 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!
