Caviar and Artichoke Bombe

appetizers for parties

(Serves 10 to 12)

This recipe is so simple yet everyone always loves it. The name “bombe” comes from its appearance which is similar to the traditional ice cream dessert, Bombe Glacée. An alternative to the more traditional layered caviar pie, this one has no egg and takes much less time to assemble.

4 cans (14-ounce cans) artichoke hearts in water
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (or more to taste – up to 1 cup)
4 ounces black caviar, drained

Drain and chop artichokes; drain again and pat dry on paper towels. Shape into a mound in center of serving dish; set aside.

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and onion. Beat at medium speed of an electric mixer 1 minute or until blended. Put spoonfuls around artichoke mound; spread together to cover. Flatten top slightly and mound caviar on top. Refrigerate until serving time.

Serve with crackers.
