1 tbsp. Black Truffle infused Olive Oil 
1 tbsp. Bourbon Smoked Paprika 
1-2 cups Pecan Wood Chips, soaked

6. Take the milk mixture and pour it over the pasta and cheese and mix until incorporated. 
7. In a small bowl, mix together the Truffle olive oil, Paprika, and the Panko bread crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the pasta.
8. Raise the temperature of your Big Green Egg to 350 degrees, the place the baking dish back on the grate. Cook about 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
