Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 60 g (2 oz.) Black Truffles, in pieces or shavings
- 1 loaf of brioche sandwich bread
- 6 Eggs
- 80 g (1/3 cup) butter
- Salt and ground black pepper (5 peppercorns)
Method
The day before
- Beat the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in the thinly sliced truffles, setting aside 4 slices for garnish.
- Add 30 g (1 oz.) diced butter and mix well. Place in a sealed Tupperware container in the fridge for 6-24 hours.
The day of serving
- Remove the crusts from the bread. Cut into 4 even cubes and 8 sticks for garnish.
- Hollow out the cubes with a sharp knife and brown them on all sides in a skillet. Keep warm with the serving plates.
- Cook the truffle-egg mixture in a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk constantly, watching that it doesn't stick to the bottom. The mixture will not thicken for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat while still slightly creamy.
Tin
Once the scrambled eggs are ready, serve immediately.
