Meanwhile, peel the onions, cut them in half transversely 2 and hollow them out by removing the inner layers 3.

Chop the inside of the onions 4 and set it aside for now. Transfer the hollowed onions into a baking dish, season with oil 5, salt, and pepper 6 and bake in a preheated static oven at 428°F for 20 minutes.

While the onions are cooking, prepare the filling: heat a drizzle of oil in a pan, add the chopped onion 7 and sauté for a few minutes, then add the rosemary 8. Pour the onion sauté into a large bowl 9

and add 4 g of black truffle, using the appropriate truffle slicer (10-11), then mash the boiled potatoes still hot directly into the bowl 12.

Add the grated Parmesan 13, the egg yolk 14, salt, and pepper and mix everything well 15. Transfer the obtained mixture into a piping bag without a nozzle.

Remove the onions from the oven and fill them with the potato and truffle mixture 16, then drizzle some oil on top 17 and bake for 15 minutes still at 428°F, then turn on the grill and continue cooking for another 5 minutes 18.

After removing the onions from the oven, garnish with more truffle flakes to taste 19 and a grinding of pepper 20 and serve your truffle stuffed onions hot 21!
