Instructions
- Begin by cleaning the truffles carefully with a soft brush under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel and finely shave or slice them.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
- In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, ensuring it does not brown.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them sit for a moment undisturbed. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan to create soft curds.
- As the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, fold in the shaved truffles, allowing their flavor to infuse the mixture.
- Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from the residual heat. Aim for a creamy, custard-like consistency.
- Serve immediately on warmed plates, garnished with finely chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of crème fraîche or mascarpone cheese to the eggs before folding in the truffles.
- If truffles are unavailable, you can experiment with high-quality truffle oil drizzled over the dish just before serving for a similar flavor profile.
- Pair this dish with a light, crisp Champagne or a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the eggs.
