Step 1
Start by mixing the crushed crackers and flour together in a bowl. In another bowl, give the eggs a good whisk until they’re smooth. Heat some butter in a frying pan over medium heat until it’s melted and starting to bubble. Take each mushroom and dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it well with the cracker mixture, tapping off any extra crumbs. Carefully place the mushrooms in the pan, but don’t overcrowd them—work in batches if needed. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Once they’re done, set them aside on some paper towels to soak up any excess butter before serving.
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
These mushrooms work wonderfully in pasta, risottos, or creamy sauces. Try sautéing them with garlic and herbs as a side dish or use them as a topping for steak or chicken to add a gourmet touch.
Storage & leftovers
Store fresh morels in a paper bag in the refrigerator for up to a few days. Avoid plastic bags as they trap moisture and cause spoilage. For longer storage, dry them completely and keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
