1 Preheat the oven to its lowest setting (100C).
2 Place the slices on a grill and put them in a warm oven to just color them a tiny bit.
3 Remove, brush lightly with olive oil and lightly salt with fleur de sel.
4 The bread slices are now ready for their truffle! Place truffle slices on the bread to totally cover it. Personally, I prefer using a knife to slice the truffle, since that allows for thicker slices.
5 Before putting the tartines back in the oven, know that the oven is not the truffle's friend. So to protect the truffle we're going to cover it with foie gras. Cut fine slices of mi-cuit foie gras. It's important to completely cover the truffles!
6 Place in oven. The idea is to get the foie gras to gently melt. This will take no more than 2-3 minutes. Keep a watchful eye on your tartines.
7 Remove from oven and eat immediately. It is the guests who should wait for the truffle, not the truffle that waits for the guests!
My advice: For this recipe I prefer a good baker’s bread, a white, crusty baguette. If the break is old it’s not a big deal, just sprinkle it with a bit of water. |
