    Step 11

    Trim off the uneven ends, then cut the roll into bite-sized canapés and tie each one with a blade of green onion. Ready to serve! Now you know how to make stuffed blini roll-ups!

  • Use the mayonnaise-batter blini from step 1 of the recipe. This appetizer looks stylish and elegant. Plain blini won't wow anyone, but this version is sure to delight. And once your guests taste the filling — tender cream cheese with mustard, salmon, and red caviar — they'll really appreciate it. These canapés taste absolutely incredible! The first time I made them, I knew right away they'd become a favorite. You can stand the roll-ups upright on a platter or lay them flat, and either way you can top them with a few extra caviar pearls and some fresh herbs.
