Ingredients
- 80 g (3 oz) Mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 of a black truffle shaved or chopped
- a little freshly ground black pepper

- Crusty Bread for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, soften the mascarpone, then gently fold in the truffle pieces and season with pepper.
- Using a knife halve the Brie horizontally.
- Remove the top and spread the mascarpone mixture on the bottom half of the wheel so that it is evenly distributed.
- Replace the top half and wrap tightly in cling film wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least two days and up to 1 week. Note: The longer you let the cheese sit, the more intense the truffle flavour will become.
