Another way to enjoy truffles for the holidays—and every day of the year—is with truffle butter.
D’Artagnan’s truffle butter is our favorite little indulgence. For the price of a cocktail, you can have a three-ounce tub of precious, sweet butter, chock-full of black or white truffle pieces. It’s as satisfying as a truffle dish.
We spread it on French rolls or a fresh baguette and are ecstatic. Try it as an hors d’oeuvre with wine.
Or, toss truffle butter with angel hair pasta, add it to a baked potato and butter your vegetables. Put a tablespoon in sauces and create masterpieces. You’ll be in truffle heaven for about $10.
