Truffles are the go-to ingredient for taking things from ordinary to extraordinary, and they’re especially delicious with eggs.
What to buy: There are many counterfeit truffles out there, so be sure to purchase them from a reputable source. They should be firm and dry to the touch, and always store them properly so that you get your money’s worth.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Hard-boil 12 eggs, cool, peel, halve, and carefully remove the yolks; reserve the whites.
- Combine egg yolks, 6 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons black truffle oil, 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives in a medium nonreactive bowl. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well until yolks are broken up and ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Evenly pipe or spoon yolk mixture into reserved egg white halves. As desired, top with thinly sliced black truffle (chervil leaves may be substituted).
