Ingredients:
- 200 grams of creamy goat’s cheese
- 1 fresh black truffle
- 1 crusty baguette
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, cut the baguette into thin slices and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the slices and sprinkle with a touch of sea salt. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown and crispy.
- While the baguette slices are baking, prepare the goat cheese. Place it in a bowl and mash it with a fork into a smooth, creamy paste. Add a little salt and black pepper to taste, and mix well so that the flavours integrate.
- Now it’s time for the star of the dish: the black truffle. Carefully clean the truffle with a soft bristle brush to remove any dirt. Then, using a truffle grater or a sharp knife, cut thin slices of truffle. Remember that truffle is a very precious ingredient, so try to make the most of it.
- Once the baguette slices are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then take each slice and spread generously with the previously prepared goat’s cheese.
- For the finishing touch, place a few slices of black truffle on each slice of baguette with goat’s cheese. Be sure to distribute the slices evenly so that each bite has the distinctive truffle flavour.
- To further enhance the flavours, gently drizzle a little honey over each appetizer. The sweetness of the honey will perfectly complement the intensity of the truffle.
- To present this irresistible appetizer, garnish each slice with a few fresh basil leaves. In addition to adding a touch of colour, the basil will add a refreshing note to the flavour combination.
And that’s it! Your black truffle temptation is ready to be enjoyed. Serve these exquisite appetizers on an elegant cheese board or on individual plates for your guests. Accompany them with a glass of red wine or a glass of champagne for a truly sophisticated experience.
