Ingredients
- 4fresh or canned black truffles, 1½ to 1¾ ounces each
- 1cup dry Champagne
- ¼cup dry sherry
- 3ounces fresh or canned mousse de foie gras
- 1sheet puff pastry, well chilled
- 4(3-inch square) thin slices prosciutto cotto or other delicately flavored ham
- 1egg yolk, beaten with ¼ teaspoon water
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter a small baking sheet.
- Step 2
Scrub truffles with a vegetable brush and put in a small saucepan. Add Champagne and sherry and heat to boiling. Simmer 4 to 6 minutes, until a skewer can be inserted into them. Drain and cool.
- Step 3
Mash the foie gras with a fork and divide into quarters. Wrap each truffle in one portion.
- Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 16-inch square. With a sharp knife, cut pastry into 4 (4-inch) squares.
- Step 5
Place a slice of ham on each pastry square and top with a prepared truffle. Bring pastry edges up over the truffle and pinch at the top to form a small bundle. Brush with the egg yolk mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until pastry is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
