  • Cook the egg in a small saucepan over medium heat for 12-15 minutes. Then run the saucepan under cold running water to cool the egg so it's easy to peel. Grate the boiled egg on a fine grater. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator ahead of time so it softens and is easy to stir with a spoon. Finely chop the dill and mix it into the cheese. You don't have to add herbs to the cheese, but they make the appetizer taste richer. Now cut the lemon into thin little pieces to your liking — it'll serve as a garnish for the pollock tartlets. Now let's assemble the tartlets with roe. Take one tartlet shell, put a little of the cream cheese and herbs in the bottom, then add a bit of grated egg. Spoon the pollock roe on top. Repeat this for all the shells. The final step is decorating the roe appetizer. Set a piece of lemon on each tartlet and, if you like, add a sprig of dill. You can decorate the tartlets however you like, giving them a special flavor. It could be, say, a piece of bell pepper for juiciness and sweetness, or a piece of cucumber for freshness. It mostly comes down to personal preference, imagination, and a love of experimenting. After trying these tartlets, I came to appreciate the recipe. The appetizer tastes interesting — nothing extraordinary, but it works. It comes out delicate thanks to the cream cheese and egg, but it's worth noting that the roe flavor is very pronounced. It's hard to say exactly how many portions the recipe makes, since it depends on which tartlet shells you use — that is, on their size. I used fairly small shells, so I ended up with quite a few.
