- 1 Tbsp Grated parmesan or pecorino high quality
- 5-10 Grams Fresh black truffle slices
- ½ Cup Chicken stock
- 1 Splash Dry white wine
- 2 Tsp Cooking oil Such as grapeseed or light olive oil
- 1.5 Tbsp Black truffle butter optional
- 1 Ball Burrata cheese or fresh mozzarella
Instructions
Burrata Truffle Toast
- Lightly oil or butter the bread and toast until it's crisp and golden brown on one side. Lightly toast the other side.
- Rub the toasted side of the bread with a small clove of garlic, pressing lightly so the garlic melts into the bread.
- Remove a ball of burrata from the whey, pat dry and cut off three slices. Carefully arrange the cheese on the toast and cut into triangles for easy eating. Season the cheese with a pinch of salt.
- Shave the truffle over the toast, drizzle with a little homemade truffle oil, chives and serve.
Leek Toast with Truffles
- Cut the leeks in half, then slice them into ¼ inch slices keeping the root whole so they stay together. Cut the leeks into ¼ inch dice.
- Put the leeks in a sauce pot with the oil and cook until translucent. Add the wine and reduce, then add the chicken stock and cook until the pan is nearly dry and the leeks are very tender. Transfer the leeks to a bowl and cool.
- Mix the leeks, ricotta and parmesan and season to taste with salt.
- Toast a slice of bread and cover with thin slices of truffle butter. Spread the leeks on top, arrange a few fresh truffle slices on top and serve.

Notes
This is an easy recipe, but it's also easy to mess it up. Do not get creative and add excess ingredients as they can detract from the truffle aroma and flavor.
One great variation if you don't have fresh truffles is to use fresh truffle slices you've previously preserved in oil with a pinch of salt.
