White Truffles are here!



We were at The Cheese Store of Silverlake and Chris told me they had their first white truffles of the season. Mucho expensive, but we couldn’t resist. We bought one fairly large one ¾ of an ounce. We also purchased some truffle butter.

We first made a Sunday lunch with scrambled eggs topped with shaved truffles. It was perfect! No recipe needed, scramble eggs, thinly slice truffles (truffle slicer works best) top eggs with truffles. Eat slowly savoring every bite.

We used ½ of the truffle on the eggs.

For the other half of the truffle, we made a pasta with truffles. When the noodles were cooked and drained, we returned the noodles to the warm pot we cooked the pasta in, and added truffle butter (can’t have too much of a good thing). We then served the pasta topped with the truffles.

Two extremely wonderful truffle dishes, that are candidates for courses in my last meal.
