Truffle Butter
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons European butter (see Notes)
  • 1 tablespoon black truffle paté or spread (or to taste) (see Notes)
  • Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon (optional)
Instructions
  1. Remove butter from the refrigerator 30 to 45 minutes in advance to soften.
  2. Mix butter and black truffle paté or spread in a small bowl with a fork. Add more black truffle paté or spread for a more intense flavor. Taste and sprinkle some flaky sea salt if needed.
  3. Refrigerate it for a few days until ready to use or keep it at room temperature if you’re using it immediately.
Notes
* I recommend using ‘European butter’ or ‘Plugrá’ which has a higher milk fat content (82%) than regular butter.
* You can purchase La Rustichella Black Truffle Paté on Amazon or look for Black Truffle Spread at Wegmans – they are essentially the same thing.
* Serving suggestions – tossed with steamed potatoes (one batch was enough for about 2 pounds of small gold potatoes), as a finish to a grilled steak, rub for your Thanksgiving turkey, tossed with steamed vegetables or used in place of garlic butter for truffle butter bread.
* Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
