Preparation
Prepare the Toasts
Cut the country bread into even slices. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Toast the Bread
Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, just enough to make them slightly golden and crispy.
Add the Truffle Butter
Let the toasts cool for a moment. Then spread a generous layer of Plantin black truffle butter on each slice.
Prepare the Black Truffle
Gently clean the fresh black truffle. Using a truffle slicer, create thin slices.
Garnish the Toasts
Place several slices of black truffle on each toast. Add a light pinch of fleur de sel and, if desired, a twist of pepper.
Prepare the Accompaniment
Arrange some young shoots on the serving platter. Add a few lightly crushed hazelnuts and some pomegranate seeds for crunch and a touch of freshness.
Serve
Place the toasts on the salad and serve immediately, while the bread is still slightly warm.
Plantin Chef’s tip(s)
Add the fresh black truffle on the still slightly warm toasts: the heat from the bread and the butter cream will release its aromas without cooking it. Also, take the butter cream out of the refrigerator a few minutes before serving so that it is easier to spread.
