Grilled Eggplant Toast with Summer Truffle

Préparation

Preparation of Grilled Eggplants

Wash the eggplants and cut them into thick slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 200°C for about 25 to 30 minutes until they are golden and tender. This cooking method develops slightly grilled aromas essential for the depth of the spread.

Blending the Spread

In a blender, place the cooled grilled eggplants with the garlic clove. Blend until you achieve a smooth yet slightly textured consistency. Then add the Grilled Eggplant Delight with summer truffle and gently mix to preserve the aromatic finesse of the truffle.

Seasoning with Black Truffle

Gradually incorporate the black truffle oil in a drizzle. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. The oil will add a lingering finish and enhance the gourmet character of the spread while maintaining a subtle balance.

Plating on Toast

Toast slices of country bread until they are crispy. Generously spread the mixture, then add a few slices of radish, cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors.

Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin

For an even creamier texture, let the eggplants rest covered after cooking so they can develop their natural softness.
Add the black truffle olive oil at the end of preparation to preserve its aromatic intensity.
Serve slightly warm rather than cold to fully reveal the truffle notes.
