- 2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

- 1 ounce salmon caviar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Put the eggs in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a rolling boil.
- Cover tightly and remove from the heat.
- Let stand for 12 minutes.
- Fill a medium bowl with ice water.
- Pour out the water from the saucepan and shake the pan gently to crack the egg shells.
- Transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool, then pat the eggs dry.
- Peel the eggs and halve each one lengthwise.
- Slice a thin sliver from the bottom of each egg half to keep it steady.
- In a small bowl, combine the radishes with the creme fraiche, lemon zest and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
