Preparation

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.
Step 2
In small bowl, combine the butter and 4 tablespoons of porcini powder. Add salt to taste.
Step 3
Slice the baguettes into very thin slices. Place on a sheet pan and toast until golden brown on both sides.
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.
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.
