Prepare the Truffle:

Notes

  • Using truffle oil instead of fresh truffles does not significantly affect the nutritional content.
  • Pairing with bread will increase the calorie and carbohydrate count.
  • Values are approximate and may vary depending on the size of the eggs and the type of cream used.
