Categories     project, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 fresh or canned black truffles, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 ounces each
1 cup dry Champagne
1/4 cup dry sherry
3 ounces fresh or canned mousse de foie gras
1 sheet puff pastry, well chilled
4 (3-inch square) thin slices prosciutto cotto or other delicately flavored ham
1 egg yolk, beaten with 1/4 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter a small baking sheet.
  • Scrub truffles with a vegetable brush and put in a small saucepan. Add Champagne and sherry and heat to boiling. Simmer 4 to 6 minutes, until a skewer can be inserted into them. Drain and cool.
  • Mash the foie gras with a fork and divide into quarters. Wrap each truffle in one portion.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 16-inch square. With a sharp knife, cut pastry into 4 (4-inch) squares.
  • Place a slice of ham on each pastry square and top with a prepared truffle. Bring pastry edges up over the truffle and pinch at the top to form a small bundle. Brush with the egg yolk mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until pastry is golden brown, about 15 minutes.

I would recommend using a good quality truffle oil to get the best flavor.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it turned out great.

The truffles were a bit too strong for my taste, but the puff pastry was amazing.
