Yield Makes 48 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

50 g (1 1/2 oz) fresh or preserved black winter truffles*
1/4 cup hazelnut oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
24 quail eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Garnish: finely chopped fresh chives
Special Equipment
a 3/4-inch round cutter and a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain tip

Steps:

  • Very thinly slice truffles with a truffle slicer or other small manual slicer or with a sharp thin knife. Cut out 48 circles from slices with round cutter. Mince enough scraps to measure 1 tablespoon and reserve with 2 teaspoons juice from jar if using preserved truffles.
  • Whisk oil into lemon juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinaigrette into another small bowl and add truffle circles. Marinate truffle circles, covered and chilled, 1 hour, or until ready to use.
  • While truffle circles are marinating, cover quail eggs with water by 1 inch in a small saucepan. Simmer, covered, 5 minutes, then refresh under cold water to stop cooking. Peel eggs and halve lengthwise.
  • Carefully push out yolks and mash with chives, minced truffles (and any juice if using preserved truffles), and remaining vinaigrette to create a paste. Season with salt and pepper and transfer mixture to pastry bag fitted with tip. Chill deviled yolks in bag until ready to use.
  • Arrange egg white halves on a platter and pipe in just enough deviled yolks to fill holes (do not mound). Cover each yolk with a truffle circle.
  • *Preserved truffles are available at some specialty food shops and from Urbani (800-281-2330).

I found that using a smaller pan helped to keep the eggs from overcooking.

I used white truffle oil instead of fresh truffles and they still turned out great.

Truffled quail eggs are a true delight. The combination of the rich, earthy flavor of the truffles and the delicate creaminess of the eggs is simply heavenly.
