Note

White truffle oil is available in gourmet shops and specialty food stores. It has a strong aroma, so add it at the very end to preserve its flavor.

Serve immediately with crusty French bread to soak up the buttery sauce.

If you do not have brandy or cognac, you can substitute with dry sherry or a splash of white wine.

Ensure the mushrooms are dried thoroughly after washing to ensure they sear properly rather than steam.
