Description
Sformato is a souffle-like dish, made from various ingredients – vegetables, cheese, bread crumbs – held together with a bechemel or egg. Sformatino is a small, individual sformato, made in small ramekins. If you don’t have access to truffle sauce, a good substitute would be sautéed mushrooms seasoned with some truffle oil.

- 4 tablespoons salsa tartufo (truffle sauce)
