 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add mayonnaise, lemon
 juice, onion, sugar and hot pepper sauce, blending
 well. Place caviar in strainer and rinse carefully
 with cold water. Shake strainer to remove excess
 water. Reserve 1 tablespoon caviar. Add remaining
 caviar to sour cream mixture, stirring gently. Season
 to taste with salt and white pepper. Turn into greased
 2-cup mold or into 8 to 10 small individual molds and
 chill until firm, about 3 to 4 hours. Unmold on
 serving plate. Place about 6 tablespoons sour cream on
 top of large mold or 1 tablespoon on each individual
 mold. Place some of reserved caviar on top of sour
 cream. Surround with parsley and accompany with toast
 rounds.
