RECIPES
Homemade Truffle Butter
14g Black Truffle - finely grated
1 cup of room temperature cubed butter ( I prefer to add my own salt, but you can used salted)
1 tsp black truffle oil (optional)
Mix everything together with a fork - add salt to taste. Place the mixture on some wax paper or a bees wax wrap and roll into a log - twist the ends to seal. Put in the refrigerator for 1 - 2 hrs.
Use on a steak, green beans, or mashed potatoes!
Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Truffle
- 4 Organic Eggs + 2 Yolks
- 1 tbsp Water
- 20-30 g black truffle (1 small truffle)
- 20 g Unsalted Butter
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh Baguette or toasted sourdough to serve
-
Place the truffle in the egg carton in the fridge 24h before cooking so the truffle aromas can infuse the eggs.
-
Prepare a bain-marie (*). Place the eggs and yolks in it, as well as the butter and the tablespoon of water
-
Gently whisk the eggs over low heat. Once they just start to set, use a microplane or cheese grater to grate about half of the truffle in the mixture. Continue whisking gently until the eggs reach the desired texture (we recommend keeping them very soft)
-
Divide between two plates, season with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
-
With a truffle slicer or a mandolin, slice the rest of the truffle thinly on top of the eggs on each plate
-
Enjoy with a fresh baguette or toasted sourdough!
