Truffle Waffles
Truffles were already considered a special ingredient in the ancient Roman Empire, but it was French and Italian gastronomy that made them world-famous. Truffle oil, in its modern form, is able to recreate this intense, earthy flavor, which pairs perfectly with simpler dishes such as waffles. The kitchen fills with a festive atmosphere as the truffle waffles slowly cook. The crispy crust of the savory waffle and the special aroma of the truffle truly transform this simple dish into an elegant treat. It is an ideal choice for brunch parties, as an elegant appetizer, or for a special breakfast. Tip: You can serve it with a soft-boiled egg, a few drops of lemon juice, or even arugula – this will further enhance the truffle's character. It is easy to prepare even for beginners if they follow the steps and pay attention to the cooking time and consistencies.

Preparation Steps
1
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then let it cool for a few minutes. Tip: Don't let it boil, just melt it to prevent separation when mixing.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, add the milk and melted butter, then whisk in the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Tip: If it's too thick, add a little more milk.
3
Stir in the grated cheese, then mix in the truffle oil and finely chopped parsley. Tip: A little truffle oil goes a long way because of its strong aroma – don't overdo it!
4
Preheat the waffle iron and grease it lightly with oil or butter to prevent the batter from sticking. Pour in the batter and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Don't open it too early, or the waffle may tear.
5
Once done, serve warm, sprinkled with fresh parsley. Tip: These waffles are special on their own, but you can also serve them with eggs, salad, or even a creamy dipping sauce.
