Marshall and I picked up this Black Truffle salt while we were visiting family in Boca Raton, FL. We got it at a chain spice shop called "The Tea and Spice Exchange." This is probably the best $7.95 I have spent in the last few years. This simple salt has made me fall in love with eggs all over again (I go through these phases in my life where I love eggs and then I'm blase about them and then I love them again. Right now, I'm in love with eggs.)
I made egg-in-a-hole and it was FABULOUS. Not just because I used a nifty heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the bread but because it was topped with this great salt and I gobbled it up very quickly. It was just a little pinch of it and it was enough. It made me feel like a million bucks....more like I had a million bucks. It made me feel rich. Again, this was the best $7.95 I've spent in a while.
This salt has bits and pieces of black truffles in them and the fragrance...lets just say that it was in my carryon bag and I could smell it on the plane. This small pouch packs a punch. A simple fried egg topped with Black Truffle salt and pepper is suddenly something of magic.

Dude, you were holding out on your family here!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE truffle salt....Also - Trader Joe's has SMOKED salt that is very good for less than $3 in it's own grinder.
ReplyDeleteIf you are a fan of TRUFFLE - fill a spray bottle with truffle oil - and spritz your foods like roasted potatos while warm. Incredible flavor - for an incredibly cheap cost.
Oh...such great ideas. Thank you. I love Trader Joes. I need to go shopping there again soon.
