Black Truffle Canapes Recipes
Recipe Type:
Appetizer,
Truffles,
Canapes & Crostini
Yields:
20 canapes
Prep time: 20 min
Ingredients:
5 thin slices firm, white sandwich bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
7 ounces prepared pate with
truffles*
2 to 3 tablespoons
crème fraiche or sour cream
Black
truffle shavings
* Can substitute any good-quality pate.
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Brush bread with melted butter and cut out approximately twenty
(20) 1 1/2- to 2-inch circles with round cookie cutter; arrange, buttered sides up, on a large baking sheet.
Bake in middle of oven approximately 7 to 10 minutes or until pale golden. Remove from oven and cool completely.
NOTE: Toasts may be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
 To prepare, place thin slices of pate on each toast round. Top with
crème fraiche or sour cream and truffle shavings.
NOTE: You always want to maximize the truffle flavor,
using the least amount of the ingredient as possible. So always slice into
paper-thin wedges or strips. Use a
truffle shaver (similar to a cheese grater)
when shaving truffles.
Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve, but don't let sit too long as bread toasts will become soft.
Makes 20 canapes.
