About

If you don’t have a truffle slicer, use a sharp knife to slice the truffles very finely. If possible, use a pan that is suitable for oven use as well. You can use white truffle instead of black. This dish is also good without the truffles — simply squeeze some lemon juice into the pan butter just before serving.
