TRUFFLE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons truffle-infused oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper, parsley, and garlic to mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are golden and lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Stir remaining truffle-infused oil and cream cheese into mushroom mixture until cheese melts from the heat of the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Spread mushroom-cheese mixture onto each baguette round. Arrange rounds on a baking sheet.
• Broil bruschetta until bread is warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes.
• While bread cools, mix ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon basil, and remaining coarse salt and pepper together in a bowl.
• Spoon ricotta mixture onto bread slices and top with remaining basil and shaved Parmesan pieces. Finish by drizzling with truffle oil and top with additional salt and pepper.

CRUSHED WHITE BEAN BRUSCHETTA WITH WHITE TRUFFLE OIL

• Place the beans in a bowl and coarsely mash with a potato masher. Add 2 to 3 cloves of garlic and continue mashing. Mash in the olive oil, but keep the mixture fairly coarse. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the scallions and parsley. Spoon into a serving bowl and drizzle with white truffle oil. Serve with a basket of crisp toasts and the bottle of truffle oil, for more drizzling.

MINI CHALLENGE: BRUSCHETTA WITH POACHED EGG, TRUFFLE OIL, AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Drizzle olive oil over one side of each bread slice. Grill the bread slices on both sides until well marked. Set each bread slice on a plate.
• Fill a medium size saute pan with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the vinegar and bring to a boil; lower the heat to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, in another medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir in the garlic and cook until just fragrant. Add the arugula and toss to wilt. Remove from heat. Place some arugula over each slice of bread.
• Crack 1 egg into a small bowl; then slowly slip it into the simmering water. Repeat with the rest of the eggs. Poach the eggs for about 3 minutes, until the whites have coagulated. One by one, remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, resting the spoon on top of a towel to dry off the excess water.
• Place 1 egg on top of each bread slice. Spoon some of the gremolata on top of each egg and drizzle with some truffle oil. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over each egg and serve immediately.
