Crispy Morel Mushrooms
Ingredients
  • 1 pound morel mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup oil for frying
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, finely crushed
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by cutting any large morels in half, making them easier to handle. Next, place the morels in a large bowl and cover them with cold, lightly salted water. Refrigerate the mushrooms for about 5 minutes to loosen any dirt that may be clinging to their surfaces.
2
After the initial soaking, pour off the salted water and rinse the mushrooms thoroughly with fresh water. Repeat this process twice more to ensure that all dirt and debris are removed from the mushrooms.
3
Take a final moment to thoroughly rinse the mushrooms, making sure all crevices are clean. Allow them to drain on paper towels, which will help remove excess moisture.
4
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. While the oil is warming up, mix eggs and milk in a shallow bowl to create a binding agent.
5
Dip the morels into the egg mixture, coating them evenly, then roll them in cracker crumbs to add texture and crunch.
6
Carefully place the coated morels into the hot oil, where they will cook quickly and develop a golden-brown crust on both sides.
7
Once the morels are evenly browned, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined surface to drain excess oil.
8
Finally, season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste, bringing out their natural flavors and aromas.
