INSTRUCTIONS
On a floured surface roll out the puff pastry 1/8 inch thick and with
a 3-inch star-shaped cutter cut out 8 pastry stars. Transfer the
stars to a lightly greased baking sheet, brush the tops with the egg
wash, being careful not to let the wash drip down the sides, and bake
the stars in the middle of a preheated 400F. oven 12 to 15 minutes,
or until they are puffed and golden. Transfer the stars to a rack and
let them cool completely. With a sharp small knife carefully split
the stars in half horizontally to form a total of 16 stars, leaving
the bottoms cut sides up and the tops cut sides down. Just before
serving, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the sour cream onto each star,
divide the caviar among the stars, and sprinkle the hors d'oeuvres
with the chives.
Makes 16 hors d'oeuvres.
