How to make the fonduta con tartufi:

Dice the fontina and put it in the upper half of a double boiler with the milk; season the mixture with a pinch of salt and let it sit for about an hour. Then heat it gently, stirring with a whip, until you obtain a dense, cheesy cream.

At this point incorporate the yolks, one at a time, and then the butter.

Divvy the fonduta up into 6 previously heated bowls, sprinkle the shaved truffles over them, and serve  the fonduta con tartufi with toasted bread.
