Grilled Cheese with Truffle Oil, Arugula and Summer Truffles

Ingredients:

• four slices good quality, dense Italian bread
• 1 cup arugula
• 1 – 2 ounces summer truffles, sliced thin
• Morbier cheese, about 5 ounces, sliced
• 2 teaspoons black truffle oil
• fleur de sel

Instructions:

Using a pastry brush, apply the black truffle oil to one side of each of the four pieces of bread, using about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the truffle oil. Heat a skillet to medium, and place two pieces of bread in the pan, with the truffle oil down. Cover the pieces of bread with Morbier cheese. Place the remaining two pieces of bread, truffle oil down, in the skillet and cover with sliced summer truffles. Drizzle the remaining black truffle oil over the summer truffles and sprinkle fleur de sel to taste. When the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, put the arugula on top of the summer truffles, and top with the slice of bread with the melted cheese. Slice the grilled cheese with truffle oil, arugula and summer truffle sandwiches in half and serve.
