Instructions

Prepare the Blinis Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the natural yogurt and eggs. Whisk them together until smooth. Gradually add the buckwheat flour and potato starch, adjusting the mixture with salt to taste. Slowly pour in the whole milk, stirring to achieve a smooth, thick batter. -

Cook the Blinis:
Heat a small amount of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts, spoon small amounts of the batter into the skillet, forming round blinis. Cook each side for about 1 minute, turning once the edges begin to firm up. Continue cooking for another minute, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter until all blinis are cooked. You should have about 18 small blinis. Transfer them to a serving platter. -
Prepare the Filling:
In a separate bowl, combine the goat cheese and chopped chives. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt to taste and mix until smooth. -
Assemble the Blinis:
Take each blini and spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture on top. Garnish with thin lime slices and a few whole sprigs of chives for an elegant finish. -
Serve and Enjoy:
The buckwheat blinis with smoked tuna and goat cheese are now ready to be served. These flavorful bites make for an exquisite appetizer, perfect for any gathering or special occasion.
