Tips and Tricks for Making Truffle Mac & Cheese
Follows these simple tips and tricks for making truffle mac and cheese, and you’ll have a delicious entrée or side dish ready and waiting to enjoy in no time.
- When making cheese sauce from scratch, you’ll almost always need to make a roux to thicken it. Be sure to stir your roux and sauce constantly to keep it from burning, scalding, or getting lumpy or too thick.
- Choose your cheese wisely! Some recipes call for certain types of cheese like gruyere or chevre, and these shouldn’t be substituted. Others, like white cheddar, can be easily substituted for a different type of cheddar without affecting the recipe.
- Choose a good-quality truffle oil. Remember that less expensive truffle oils probably aren’t made with real truffles. A high-quality truffle oil should always have pieces of truffles in the bottle to prove that it was made from authentic truffle ingredients.
- In most cases, even if a recipe specifies black or white truffle oil, the ingredient is interchangeable. The flavors will change, but the texture and the cooking method won’t. Black truffle oil has a richer and more robust flavor, while white truffle oil tastes more like garlic. If you choose to change them around, just remember you will have a different flavor at the end.
