This make-ahead dish is an excellent appetizer or party dish for the holidays. When our friend Jill Wechsler makes this version, there is usually a traffic jam at the buffet table, as one bite leads to another.
6 hard-boiled eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 ½ cups chopped Bermuda (red) onion
8 ounces softened cream cheese
2/3 cup sour cream
4.7 ounces black or red lumpfish caviar (the supermarket variety)
Optional garnish: lemon, parsley, capers, crackers, thin bread, or toast
Grease well an 8- or 9-inch springform pan. Chop 6 hard-boiled eggs, combine with mayonnaise, and spread over pan. Sprinkle with chopped onions. Blend softened cream cheese with sour cream and spread over onion. Cover and chill 3 hours.
Just before serving, top with black or red caviar. Remove sides of springform pan. Garnish with lemon, parsley, capers, as desired. Serve with knife or spreader on side, so people can spread caviar pie on crackers or toast.

2/3 c. of diced pimentos
1/2 c. of diced onions
