1. Make a Truffle Butter Burger
Bury a slice of chilled truffle butter in the center of a patty just before searing or grilling – as the butter melts, it will keep the center juicy while the outside develops a flavorful crust.
2. Put Truffle Butter on a Steak
Compound butter is a great steak topper. Let a pat of truffle butter soften on top of a perfectly seared steak to intensify its savory, meaty flavor.
3. Rub Truffle Butter Under Poultry Skin
Massage softened black truffle butter under the skin of chicken or turkey before roasting for moist flesh with deep flavor, and crisp skin dotted with truffle bits.
4. Enrich a Pan Sauce with Truffle Butter
Finish a simple pan sauce with a generous spoon of truffle butter for extra silky mouth-feel and rich, truffle flavor.
5. Try Truffle Butter Eggs
Truffle butter and eggs make a harmonious pairing; the pungent truffle flavor complements the rich, creaminess of soft-cooked egg, and whips into scrambled eggs beautifully. Our eggs en cocotte recipe is enhanced with black truffle butter.
6. Make Truffle Butter Mushrooms
A dab of truffle butter echoes the complex, meaty taste of sautéed mushrooms, intensifying their woodsy, nutty flavor.
7. Upgrade Potatoes with Truffle Butter
Add a knob of truffle butter to mashed potatoes, or toss roasted baby potatoes with truffle butter. Try our Pommes Anna recipe to see how truffle butter transforms the humble potato.

Steamed tender-crisp vegetables with a bit of melted truffle butter make for a simple but decadent side dish. Our Truffle Butter Hollandaise Sauce is perfect on asparagus.

Spread truffle butter on bread, then add fresh salad greens and a pile of paper-thin Jambon de Bayonne for a quick and satisfying tartine - that's French for open-faced sandwich.
11. Slather Truffle Butter on a Sandwich
A crisp ficelle sliced lengthwise, filled with soft truffle butter and salty artisanal dry-cured saucisson sec makes a wonderful sandwich. The classic croque monsieur is even better with truffle butter. Grilled cheese made with Gruyere and truffle butter? Bien sur!
