One of the simplest ways to get the Truffle experience is to infuse eggs with Truffles then make a simple egg dish like scrambled eggs.
To do this put your Truffle into a sealed glass container with 1/2 a dozen eggs (still in their shell) and leave in the fridge overnight.
The perfume and flavour of the Truffle will be infused into the egg yoke through the porous shell of the egg.
Once you are ready to use the egg you can also shave the truffle over the eggs you cook.

My closest encounter with truffle is at a fine dining restaurant where I had some pasta finished with truffle oil. Possibly the lack of refined palate, I somehow failed to distinctly identify the taste/aroma of truffle. Yes, I do realise the flavouring of truffle should be subtle and unfortunately, eating the pasta then did not stop my curiousity towards the mysterious fungi.
1. Beat eggs & cream together with a whisk or alternatively, use a hand blender to blend until smooth.
Deep down I knew the only way to cut it is to use this highly prized and priced ingredient in my cooking.
Thanks to cooking reality shows such as My Kitchen Rules Australia and Iron Chef that I have been addicted to lately, strangely, I begin to exhibit some fascination towards truffle.
Emily’s note: If you can’t find truffle-infused eggs in your area, don’t let this dissuade you from using this recipe. Use whatever truffle products (such as truffle oil, truffle salt & and truffle butter) you have on hand to flair up your scramble eggs.
