• Pour into a loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very cold and set but still pliable, about 2 hours.
• Using a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop balls of ganache, transferring them to baking sheets lined with parchment paper as you work. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
• Using your hands, roll each ball into an egg shape. Place in freezer until very firm, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, put 1 1/2 pounds white chocolate into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth; remove from heat. Divide between 2 medium bowls. Add food coloring to 1 bowl until desired blue shade. Add a few drops of food coloring to other bowl, and swirl lightly with a toothpick.
• Working with one at a time, dip half of the eggs in blue chocolate, then dip remaining eggs in swirled chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. As you work, transfer eggs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Truffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
• For sparkly truffles, brush luster dust onto blue eggs to coat if desired.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TRUFFLE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and salt very well in a large bowl.
• Pour the olive oil into the skillet; swirl it to coat the bottom and sides; set on a stove burner, heat off.
• Pour and scrape all the eggs into the skillet; turn the heat on high; wait a few seconds, just until the heat starts to permeate the pan and reach the eggs.
• Gently slide the spatula from the side of the pan into the center, dragging the first coagulated eggs with it; repeat the motion, drawing in eggs from another spot.
• Steadily move around the pan, constantly pulling in cooked eggs with the spatula blade, as uncooked eggs flow into the cleared space.
• As you drag them, the eggs will form long rippling sheets; don't break them up, but keep gathering them gently, into a soft mass of ruffles.
• Decrease heat if the eggs sizzle-don't let them brown.
• As soon as the sides stay clear and no loose egg is flowing, turn off the heat; if there is a lot of wet, uncooked egg caught in the ruffles, more than you like, tumble the mass over gently to cook them but don't break them up (or leave the eggs wet and soft).
• Quickly divide the eggs in equal portions on warm plates, and immediately shave paper-thin flakes of truffle, a dozen or so, on top of each one.
• Serve right away, as the heat releases the aroma of truffle.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE EGG BOX

Steps:

• Gently heat the cream in a pan. When hot, remove from the pan and leave to stand for 1 min. Add dark and milk chocolates to the pan, and stir until melted and smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl and chill in the fridge until firm.
• When the chocolate is firm, use 2 teaspoons to scoop out 12 walnut-sized truffles. Roll half the truffles in the cocoa powder and the other half in hazelnuts. Place the covered truffles in mini paper cases and pop into egg boxes. You can now tie up with ribbon and give to someone you love.

• Add the remaining butter to the eggs, 1 piece at a time, and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until the eggs are thick and cooked through but still soft, about 5 minutes longer.

TRUFFLED DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a large pot and add enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring the pot to boil (BTB), cover and then turn off the heat and let sit for 13 minutes EXACTLY!
• Drain the eggs and run them under cold water until cool; if you're not using them right away, put them in the fridge.
• Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks. Put the yolks in a small bowl and mash them with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, truffle peeling, truffle oil and cayenne and whip until very light and fluffy.
• Use a disposable pastry bag (or just buy zip-top bags, fill them and cut off one corner - a very low-tech solution but my favorite kind!) to pipe the yolk mixture into the whites (or just spoon it in). Sprinkle with the chives to serve.

LUXE TRUFFLE DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Set 20 egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate. This recipe uses 12 egg yolks, but only yields enough filling for 20 halves; reserve the extra 4 whites for another use.
• With a fork, mash the yolks to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, truffle oil, and salt, and mix until smooth. (You can also do this using an electric mixer with a whip attachment.) Taste and season accordingly.
• Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly.
• Top each egg half with a tiny sprinkle of black lava salt, a grind of fresh-cracked black pepper, and a chive flower, if using.
