What it is

The truffle is then sliced and served simply, often with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil or a knob of butter, allowing its earthy flavor to shine. The salt crust or ash is discarded.
Key ingredients
Whole black truffle, sea salt (for crust) or ash, butter or olive oil.
Optional tweaks
Naturally keto-friendly. Ensure no bread or starchy accompaniments are served.
Watch out for
If served with toast points, ensure they are omitted.
