CROSTINI WITH WHITE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Spread the bread slices lightly on one side with the butter and arrange them on a tray, buttered side up. Place in a 400-degree oven and bake about 6 minutes, until crusty but not dry. Rub the buttered side of the toast lightly with the garlic cloves.
• Toss the salad greens with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and a dash each of black pepper and salt, and divide the greens among 6 plates. Arrange the toast on top, one slice for each serving. Sprinkle each of the slices with 1 teaspoon of the cheese and a sprinkling of black pepper and salt.
• Using a vegetable peeler or truffle slicer, shave the truffles directly over the toast, coating each piece. Then sprinkle the toast with the remaining olive oil and a dash of black pepper. Serve immediately.
