Its Oscar Time!

Are you excited for this year's Oscars?! 











Do you throw an Oscar party or attend one? Either way we found a recipe that we think fits the occasion perfectly. So, whether you are throwing an Oscar bash at your place or going to a friend's, toasted brioche rounds with creme fraiche and caviar are sure to be a big hit!

What you will need:
1 one-pound loaf brioche, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 eight-ounce container creme fraiche or sour cream
2 ounces black caviar, or more

How to prepare:
1. Using a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut 36 rounds or brioche from slices. Place 1 tablespoon butter in 12-inch skillet. Melt over medium heat. Add half the rounds; cook until golden, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and rounds. Let cool on a wire rack or paper towel. Store rounds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. 
2. Place a dollop of creme fraiche on each round, and top with caviar. 

This receipt is brought to you by marthastewart.com. If you would like to make the recipe even simpler, just add a dollop of creme fraiche and caviar to already sliced and baked bread rounds or tasty crackers.
