Stuffed Morels Recipe - Cooking Index
This is one of the few recipes that really does improve on "plain ole" morels sauteed in butter. This is a bit fussy, but not over-the-top, and well worth the effort if you enjoy gourmet creations.
Type: Vegetables1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Lump crabmeat |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Mayonnaise |
= (please do NOT use cheap imitations!) | ||
1 1/2 tablespoons | 22ml | Heavy cream |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Chopped fresh chives |
1 | Egg yolk | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Finely-grated fresh Parmesan cheese |
1 1/2 tablespoons | 22ml | Dry bread crumbs |
Salt - to taste | ||
Freshly-ground white pepper - to taste | ||
12 | Morels - (to 16) - cleaned, trimmed (large) | |
8 tablespoons | 120ml | Butter |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Finely-minced garlic |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Chopped fresh parsley |
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, cream, chopped chives, egg, Parmesan, and bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly. Season with the salt and pepper. Stuff each morel with the crabmeat filling.
Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and melt four tablespoons of the butter. Transfer the stuffed morels to the skillet and saute gently. Turn on all sides to ensure even browning. Add the remaining butter and garlic. Continue to cook for about a minute, then transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for about eight or ten minutes, or until the mushrooms are thoroughly cooked and golden brown.
Saute the remaining butter with the garlic to make garlic butter. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve the mushrooms immediately with hot garlic butter drizzled on top.
