Tips & Variations

• For a milder flavor, substitute ricotta for the crème fraîche in the base layer.
• Use fresh dill and red onion to enhance the freshness and color of the pizza.
• If lump-fish caviar is hard to find, you can use salmon roe or another mild fish roe as a substitute.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature to enjoy the flavors fully.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best flavor and texture, add the caviar and fresh toppings just before serving again. Reheating is not recommended as it can affect the delicate toppings.

FAQs

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

You can prepare and bake the pizza ahead of time, but add the crème fraîche, onion, dill, and caviar just before serving to keep the flavors fresh and vibrant.

What can I use if I don’t have lump-fish caviar?

Salmon roe or other mild fish roe are good alternatives that will provide a similar salty and briny flavor without overpowering the dish.

• The black or red lump-fish caviar adds a sophisticated touch but can be omitted or replaced with other roe if desired.
