Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Aged balsamic vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Black Truffle Oil
  • 3 Cups Arugula loosely packed
  • 2 hard boiled eggs cut into wedges
  • 12 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 ounces Double Cream Style Cheese
  • 1 baguette sliced

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Balsamic Vinegar and Truffle oil until very well blended.
  • In a large bowl, toss the Arugula with the balsamic vinegar and black truffle oil.
  • Place 2 ounces of cheese on each plate. Divide the sliced hard boiled eggs and cherry tomatoes between the plates. Pour a little more of the truffle oil over the cheese if you'd like. Serve with crusty bread. 

Notes

Tips for Success
  • Choose quality ingredients. Seek out a good quality aged balsamic vinegar and "real" truffle oil. Both of these ingredients will return a pure and exciting flavor.
  • Choose Cherub brand tomatoes. They're a type of grape tomato that is sturdy in nature and easy to slice. They're available year round.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the tomatoes, but use a regular, very sharp, paring knife to slice the cheese. A serrated knife will leave groove marks in the delicate double cream cheese. You'll appreciate the cleaner presentation.
