- 80 g (3 oz) Mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 of a black truffle shaved or chopped
- a little freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 of a Brie de Meaux *see note
- Crusty Bread for serving
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.
Remove from the fridge at least 15 minutes before you are ready to serve.
Enjoy with fresh crusty bread.
