Yield: 1 servings

1/2 lb Frozen puff pastry; thawed

           An egg wash made by beating
           -- together 1
           -- large egg and 1 teaspoon
           -- water
    1/3 c  Sour cream or cr&#232me
           -- fra&#238che
      1 oz Black caviar
      3 tb Minced fresh chives

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.
