Truffle Sandwich & Soft-Boiled Egg

Truffle Sandwich with Soft-boiled Egg

Truffles are one of winter’s great delights! These little black nuggets with the unmistakable aroma cost upward of $2,500/kilo – but you only need a few grams for an indulgent breakfast treat and you can order a small one online for around $75 (with delivery) from Fish River Truffles near Bathurst. Keep the indulgence going with a slightly sweet Moscato d’Asti, such as the wonderful organic one from brother and sister, Alessandra and Gian Luigi Bera, at just 5.5% alcohol it’s the perfect breakfast wine. Poached eggs work well with this truffle sandwich too, see below video to master making the perfect poached egg.

Serves 2

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 25g salted butter, softened
  • 6 thin slices sourdough baguette
  • 20g fresh black truffle
Method
  1. Boil the eggs as soft as you like, but certainly so that the yolks are still runny.
  2. Meanwhile, spread the butter on the baguette slices, don’t be shy with it (truffles need fat to bring out their flavour).
  3. Shave thin slices of truffle and arrange them on the bread.
  4. Peel the eggs – soft-boiled eggs can be hard to peel, but don’t worry if they don’t look perfect, the peeled side won’t be visible.
  5. Halve the eggs lengthways and place them on plates cut side up, sprinkle any crumbs of truffle over the top, arrange the bread on the side and serve.
  6. Mound pieces of egg onto the sandwiches, the warmth will help release the truffle flavour.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
