Make Your Own Blini Bar

I keep on my fridge a pack of mini blinis. These Russian mini crepes come handy whenever I host an impromptu cocktail.

Sunday Suppers talked about the blini bar. Their concept is even simpler since they suggest that your guests make their own canapés. You can even add a friendly competition on whom made the best canapé. If you keep a jar of caviar on your pantry, you need 15 minutes to go at the grocery to grab the fresh ingredients. Then, add a few more minutes to style your blini bar and your drink bar. Voilà!

Get inspired by these classic recipes:

• Smoked salmon and caviar blinis with horseradish crème fraiche from Marie-Claire UK
• Creme fraiche, caviar and garnishes, like they did on Sunday Suppers
• Cream cheese, smoked salmon and lemon zest
• Smoked Salmon on Corn Blini with Wasabi Cream by Angie MacRae on Food Network Canada

Providing one or two options to your guests is enough. You can serve it with Champagne, a glass of cold Vodka or white wine.
