There are few combinations more perfect than a fried egg covered with truffle shavings: Uova con Tartufo. It’s also one of Italy’s most versatile dishes. You can have it for a primo, secondo, or, for a real treat, for prima colazione: breakfast. (Go to Piemonte in November and have this breakfast of champions).
Tartufi (the plural of tartufo, truffle) when in season are found in many simple preparations like the primo piatto fettuccine al tartufo or the main course tagliata con tartufi.
The white winter truffle is the most prized off all the truffles.
