Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the broiler. Grind dried porcini in a spice grinder, producing about ½ cup of powder. The excess will keep for about a year in a jar. Or buy porcini powder online or at some food shops.

  2. Step 2

    In small bowl, combine the butter and 4 tablespoons of porcini powder. Add salt to taste.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the baguettes into very thin slices. Place on a sheet pan and toast until golden brown on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Spread about 1 teaspoon of porcini butter on the baguette slices. Add a good pinch of truffles, and sprinkle with minced parsley if you like and a few grinds of pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Spread about 1 teaspoon of butter on the baguette slices. Add a good pinch of truffles, and sprinkle with minced parsley and a few grinds of pepper if you like.
