Serves

8-10

Ingredients

  • 1kg Brie or Camembert (or both for variety)
  • Truffle crumbs or Preserved truffle

Note: Both options deliver amazing flavour; choose based on your preference

Serving Suggestions

  • Arrange on a cheese board with French bread or crackers
  • Pair with a light white wine or champagne
  • The truffle-infused cheese makes an excellent centrepiece for a cheese course or appetiser spread

Method

With a piece of string, split the cheese horizontally to form 2 discs:

  • Make a small indentation around the center of the cheese
  • Place the string in this indentation
  • Pull the string through to cut the cheese into two even halves

Apply your choice of truffle product:

  • For truffle crumb:Generously spread the truffle crumb over the cut surfaces of both cheese halvesBe liberal with the application for maximum flavour
  • For preserved truffle:Drain and slice the preserved truffle into thin piecesPlace the truffle slices over the cut side of one cheese halfReassemble the cheese by placing the halves back together

Rewrap the cheese in its original paper or cheese wrapping

Place in the refrigerator:

  • Minimum 5 days (as mentioned in the video)
  • Ideally 10 days (as mentioned in the description) for maximum flavor infusion
  • This time allows the truffle flavor to permeate the cheese fully

Before serving:

  • Remove from refrigerator approximately 2 hours before serving to allow the cheese to come to room temperature
