Preparation of the crispy gavotte with acacia honey, summer truffle, and roasted walnuts
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush the brick pastry sheets with melted butter and lightly dust with icing sugar. Roll them carefully into small cylinders. Place on a baking tray and bake for 5–6 minutes until golden and crispy.
In a hot pan, toast the walnut kernels dry for 4–5 minutes until they release a roasted aroma. Chop them roughly to keep the crunch.
In a bowl, mix the fresh cheese, summer truffle pieces, a teaspoon of truffle honey, and a drizzle of black truffle olive oil. Add a light pinch of salt. The texture should be creamy but not runny.
Using a small piping bag or a spoon, gently fill the cooled gavottes with the creamy mixture. Drizzle a touch of truffle honey on top for the final touch and sprinkle with roasted walnuts.
Serve immediately, still warm, to enjoy the crispiness of the gavotte and the subtle aroma of summer truffle blending with golden honey. Perfect as an appetizer or as a refined sweet-and-savory finish to a meal.
Chef Plantin’s tip(s)
For an even richer contrast, add a few shavings of fresh truffle just before serving.

You can replace walnuts with hazelnuts for a softer, toasted note.

Pair these gavottes with brut champagne or a dry white wine to enhance the truffle aromas.
