Today we're going to talk about how to flavor eggs with truffles , and not just any truffle , but Tuber Melanosporum , since it's the one that's most popular in gastronomy, there must be a reason for that, don't you think?
We all know the nutritional value of eggs, rich in protein and healthy fats, but if we add the aroma and flavor of the Black Truffle of Teruel, it becomes a true delicacy for the palates of its diners, as it can easily give a completely unexpected twist to a potato omelet, a scrambled egg with vegetables, or some shrimp fritters.
It's essential that the mushroom we use is fresh, as it's currently in season, since it will retain its qualities perfectly for this procedure and ensure its success. It's amazing how the eggs absorb the aroma and flavor of the Black Truffle ; for this, we recommend using Tuber Melanosporum , which you can find here .
The reason why eggs have the ability to absorb aroma and flavor is due to the permeable quality of their shell; it is very porous, allowing the passage of micromolecules, giving it this peculiar characteristic.
To truffle eggs we need:
- A truffle of approximately 15-20 grams.
- Half a dozen eggs.
- Airtight container (preferably glass).
- Sheet of absorbent paper.
The fresh truffle (previously cleaned) is placed in the airtight container with the eggs, and kitchen paper is added to absorb the moisture released by this fungus.
It only takes 48 hours to obtain truffled eggs, but you must remember to keep the jar refrigerated and allow it to air out every so often (approximately every two days). As you use up the eggs, you can replace them with others, but always keep an eye on the truffle, as it is a living fungus.
The quality of the truffle is also important when buying it; it must be guaranteed fresh and in optimal condition, and you must also ensure it is Tuber Melanosporum . At Sentidos Truferos, this is guaranteed. Would you like us to complement your dishes? Click here.
