Ingredients
Method
For the brie de Meaux:
Mix all the ingredients together well in a large bowl.
Split the wheel of brie de meux in half-length wise and spread with the truffle mix.
Sandwich them back together and let marinade and mature for 2days+ before using.
For the dressing and salad:
Put both the vinegars into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Emulsify with the walnut oil.
Thinly slice small button mushrooms and cut the inside of a frisse salad into small leaves.
Season the salad then add the mushrooms and dress with the walnut dressing.
Serve with some toasted Fruit Bread.
