Crafting a visually stunning chive oil that not only drizzles beautifully over creamy soups but also adds a refreshing zing to homemade vinaigrettes
Infusing chives into soft cheese, such as goat cheese or cream cheese, creates a delightful spread for artisanal breads, crackers, or bagels, bringing an elegant twist to breakfast or snack time
Embedding chopped chives into savory pancake or waffle batter offers a unique, gourmet twist for brunch, serving as a perfect base for smoked salmon or a dollop of sour cream
