* Preserved truffles: Truffles are preserved in jars whole, sliced, or in pieces, or by flash freezing. They have a long shelf life but should be consumed within a week of opening. Bonus: Besides being much cheaper than fresh truffles, with preserved truffles you get two products in one: the truffle meal as well as the juice or oil, which can be added to soups, broths and sauces.

  1. Crack eggs in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add in truffle and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Just as butter has melted and begins to sizzle, add egg mixture to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low.

  3. Do not stir until you begin to see the first signs of eggs beginning to set. Now, using a high-heat spatula or wooden spoon, begin to stir eggs and continue until eggs are fully set.

  4. Serve with toast.
