Pancakes are a must. Caviar is a treat.

Blini with Caviar: 3 Festive Recipe Ideas for Cozy Winter Evenings

Quick to make, unforgettable in taste.

Sometimes you don’t need an official holiday to treat yourself to something special. All you need is:

• a cozy evening

• the aroma of freshly baked pancakes

• and a small jar filled with the luxury of the sea

Pancakes are loved all across Europe — but in Russia, there is a particularly charming tradition: one week each year when blini (thin, delicate pancakes) are celebrated like a little culinary promise of spring.

And the best part? This week begins tomorrow, on February 16, 2026 — and tomorrow is the perfect moment to simply join in.

Don’t worry: you don’t need a Russian dictionary for this. You just need an appetite.

And honestly — when winter is still grumbling outside, indoors is exactly the right time for warmth, comfort, and… caviar.

Why Pancakes and Caviar Are a Perfect Match

Blini are soft, warm, and neutral in flavor — the perfect stage for anything that tastes elegant.

Caviar adds:

• a delicate saltiness

• an intense aroma

• that little “wow moment” that turns a simple dish into something extraordinary

In other words:

Pancakes are comfort.Pancakes with caviar are comfort with a champagne mood.

Three Favorite Recipes: Blini the Pesca Way

1. The Classic: Blini with Sour Cream & Wild Keta Salmon Caviar PREMIUM

Sometimes the simplest things are the best.

A warm blini, a spoonful of sour cream, and a generous topping of bright red caviar — and you have a dish that has delighted generations.

Our recommendation: Wild Keta Salmon Caviar PREMIUM

Large, glowing pearls, an intense flavor, and that festive note you can taste immediately.

Serve with fresh dill and a glass of white wine — and suddenly even a Tuesday evening feels like the weekend.

2. Party-Style Mini Blini: Black Caviar & the Premium Upgrade

Mini blini are perfect when guests arrive — or when you simply want to snack in style.

The base:

• small blini

• a little cream cheese

• a spoonful of German black caviar

• a touch of lemon

And if you really want to indulge…

The premium upgrade:

Sturgeon caviar — from Osetra to the precious Beluga or Kaluga varieties.

This isn’t just a snack.This is a statement.

3. Modern Blini Rolls: Freshest Trout Caviar (Catch 2026) & Scottish Salmon

For those who love something modern and special:

Blini can be wonderfully rolled and filled — like elegant Nordic-style bites: simple, refined, and perfect for a cozy evening.

Filling:

• creamy cream cheese

• the freshest salmon trout caviar from the 2026 catch

• tender pieces of cold-smoked Scottish salmon (fillet cuts)

Roll, slice, serve — and you have an appetizer that looks like it belongs in a gourmet magazine, yet comes together in just minutes.
