Black truffle butter is one of those items that will forever change the way you cook. We love a dollop on a seared steak, whipped into mashed potatoes, scrambled with eggs, tossed with pasta, baked into dough, or tucked under the skin of a chicken before roasting …. there is no wrong way to enjoy truffle butter. The simplest? Make truffle butter crostini or just enjoy it on bread.

Here are 5 easy ways to incorporate truffle butter into your cooking.
1. Pasta
Butter and pasta made better … with truffles. Using only 4 ingredients, 1 pan, and 15 minutes, this simple dish is kitchen alchemy at its best. A little pasta water and triple-cream soft cheese create a silky sauce that’s the perfect canvas for heady black truffle. Take it to the next level with only a little more effort with our mushrooms, pasta, and truffle butter breadcrumbs recipe.
2. Poultry
Spicy Buffalo-style wings are always a party favorite, but we’ve upped the flavor ante to make them even better. It sounds a little odd, but we assure you, these wings are going to become a game day staple. A little secret for roasted chicken and turkey: black truffle butter tucked under the skin.

3. Steak
Finishing a steak with truffle butter is one of the easiest tricks in the book. Our bacon wrapped filet mignon is a case in point, but you can let a pat of butter melt on any steak you’ve got. We also like to stir it into pan sauces and finish a sous vide steak with a short truffle butter baste.
4. Potatoes
From mashed potatoes to fancier Pommes Duchesse or Hasselback style, they all benefit from truffle butter. For this it-only-looks-hard recipe, we added a generous helping of our black truffle butter for a super tasty rendition of a classic side.
