This indulgent truffle-infused brie recipe from Robin Gill is best started a day ahead of serving to allow the brie time to absorb the earthy flavours of truffle. Indeed, by preparing most of the components in advance these canapés can be put together very quickly, and work wonderfully served alongside a glass of ice cold wine, beer, or an elegant Christmas cocktail. If you can't dehydrate the mushrooms yourself, a pre-dried mushroom mix from any supermarket makes the perfect substitute.

While the brie is infusing, make the mushroom powder. Preheat the oven to 70˚C/gas mark 1/4. If you have one, you can also use a
dehydrator

Arrange the sliced mushrooms on a baking tray and place in the oven to dehydrate. Cook for 8 hours, or until completely dehydrated, then blitz in a blender to form a fine powder. This will make more
than is needed for this dish, but the mushroom powder will keep for a long time in an airtight container, and can be used as a seasoning in a wide variety of dishes
