Funny thing is that i actually know the girl that gave the truffle to him, cause i spoke to her about her job a while back. Her job is to search truffle in romanian forests with her dogs.
As Blarg said, truffles in scrambled eggs are very good. add the truffles towards the end of the egg cooking and try to keep the eggs moist. variation is a truffle omelette
Another simple recipe is to take some good pasta, I prefer something a bit wide like a fettucine, boil the pasta until al dente, then quickly take out and toss in a pan with some good butter, a little bit of salt, some cracked black pepper, and shaved truffles.
A truffled risotto would also work. Make your risotto as normal and then add shaved truffles at the end. but if you are putting cheese in your risotto, cut back on the amount of cheese as you don't want to overpower the truffles. Same thing with truffled mashed potatoes.
If you are feeling confident in your culinary chops, you can tackle a classic like a chicken demi deuill. There are a few recipes floating around on the internet. Traditionally this is made with the AOC protected Bresse chicken of France but you might have to substitute with a high quality free range one.
