Using a small round of brie cheese makes this dish more affordable than a 1-kilogram round; though when entertaining a large number, Lynley and Alan use a 1-kilogram imported French brie wheel, which must look stunning!

Ingredients

• 250 gram round brie
• truffle oil
• few shavings of truffle

Method

1. Cut the brie in half horizontally. Brush both cut surfaces of the cheese with truffle oil. Arrange a few shavings of truffle on top on one piece of brie and sandwich with the other piece. Wrap in baking paper or plastic wrap and allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.

Cooks Tips

- If you do not have truffle oil, use virgin olive oil.
