Caviar Waffle Bites
Credit: Greg DuPree
Salty, briny, and an instant reminder of the ocean, caviar is something we love to eat plain, or minimally dressed on a potato chip. Yet a dollop of it instantly elevates other dishes, too, from a riff on carbonara to deviled eggs. It’s a little bit of a splurge, yes, but with these recipes, the payoff is definitely worth it.

Although Wolfgang Puck is best known for putting smoked salmon, caviar and dill-flecked crème fraîche on his designer pizzas, he also loves this trio of toppings with his exceptionally crispy potato pancakes, a dish he makes frequently when cooking at home. All three garnishes are wonderfully decadent together; still, you can leave out the smoked salmon or the caviar.
