Total 15 minutes

Ingredients 

  • basil leaves, the largest you can find and make sure you leave some of the stem + extra tiny leaves for topping
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • Caviar of choice, I use Imperia Caviar, Kaluga
  • Creme fraîche

Instructions

  • Preheat your oil. You will know it's ready when you put the back of your spoon into the oil and it bubbles. See video for visual.
  • Flatten your basil leaves the best that you can. Add them to your oil and fry your until translucent but make sure they don’t brown. You might need to lower the heat.
