Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Slice the baguette or crusty bread into 1 cm thick slices. You should get around 12 slices from a medium-sized loaf.
Lay the bread slices on a baking tray and place them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until they are slightly crisp and golden brown.
While the bread is toasting, take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften if you haven’t done so already.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
Once toasted, remove the bread slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Generously spread a layer of softened unsalted butter on each bread slice.
Top each buttered slice with a spoonful of red caviar, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle a pinch of the finely chopped dill over the caviar for an aromatic garnish.
Cut the lemon into wedges and serve on the side for an optional sprinkle of fresh lemon juice over the caviar.
Arrange the prepared bread slices on a serving platter and serve immediately.
