White Truffle Butter

White Truffle Butter
 
White truffle butter is one of the easiest ways to make simple food feel finished. Use it like a compound butter: melt a small spoonful into warm pasta, risotto, mashed potatoes, eggs, mushrooms, steak, roasted vegetables, or spread it onto warm bread.
 
For someone new to truffles, this is a very approachable place to start. You do not need a special recipe. The butter carries the truffle aroma into warm food, so a small amount can add richness, savoriness, and that familiar earthy truffle character.
 
Add it at the end of cooking or right before serving. High heat can dull the aroma, and the aroma is the reason to use it.
