Massimo’s Sunday Ritual: Soft Egg with Fresh Truffle

Sunday mornings are slow, quiet, and rich with tradition. For Massimo, that peaceful rhythm begins with a simple but luxurious breakfast: a perfectly soft-boiled egg, served warm in its shell and topped with generous shavings of fresh truffle.

It’s a humble dish, but one that speaks to the heart of Italian cooking — minimal ingredients, seasonal freshness, and pure flavour.

Why it's a favourite...

The magic lies in the balance. The creamy yolk, still just runny, blends with the earthy perfume of freshly shaved truffle to create something far greater than the sum of its parts. It’s indulgent, yet effortless — exactly how Sunday mornings should feel.

INGREDIENTS

For 1 serving:

1 very fresh organic egg

A pinch of salt

Fresh black truffle, finely shaved

Optional: a few flakes of sea salt or a drizzle of truffle oil

INSTRUCTIONS

 

  1. Boil the Egg:
    Gently lower the egg into simmering water and cook for 5 minutes and 30 seconds for the perfect soft-boiled texture.

  2. Cool Slightly & Crack:
    Remove the egg and cool it under cold water just enough to handle. Carefully slice off the top of the shell.

  3. Season & Shave:
    Add a pinch of salt and top immediately with freshly shaved black truffle. The warmth of the egg will awaken the aroma and flavors of the truffle beautifully.

Serve the egg upright in a small egg cup or glass dish. Pair with warm rustic bread or buttery toast soldiers — perfect for dipping into that golden yolk.

Whether you’re enjoying it alone in a quiet kitchen or sharing it over coffee and conversation, this dish is a reminder that luxury doesn’t have to be complicated. Just fresh ingredients, simply prepared — and a little bit of truffle magic.

Buona domenica.
