Crêpe Bundles with Caviar and Sour Cream

Innovative and self-taught, Barry Wine redefined American haute cuisine at New York City's Quilted Giraffe in the 1980s. His iconicand most copied—dish was the bite-size beggars purse, a chive-tied crêpe bundle filled with caviar and crème fraîche. We've turned it into a first course and added chives and brown butter to the crêpe batter.

Cooks' note:

Crêpe can be made and chives blanched 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before assembling.
